Status Bar

[James]

Well, I was thinking of this earlier.

Basically, when a button is pressed or something, the status bar tells you what is happening.

Not very useful.. I guess it's an experiment.

Just a quick one. It changes the wintitle to the text instead.

Why not use a real statusbar?

_GuiCtrlStatusBarCreate etc... look in the UDFs of the help

[James]

Oh, didn't. I'll edit the status bar in a minute then.

[Thatsgreat2345]

um dude theres no point in posting scripts that just use a simple GUICtrlSetData... and WinSetTitle , well thatll set the current window active what if ur script isnt the current window cuz they clicked the button then switched to something else quickly...., just please i beg of you in the kindest way stop making pointless topics

[James]

Theyr'e for experimental purposes, and its a basic way of doing it.

[Thatsgreat2345]

experiment but don't post it, you've showed how to change a window title.... congrats thats in the help file no need to waste peoples time posting this useless topic about how to change a window title, or Guictrlsetdata to change an input box

Dude your a freaking cocky, and arrogant asshole!

this forum is for others to share their scripts regardless of how useful they may be.

[Edit]

You're signature, avator and name says it all, "Anything you write is best written with the delete key" suggest you take your own word for it..

You've been a part of this forum for all of 45 minutes... maybe you should take your own advice and shut your pie hole, and leave others to take care of themselves or a Mod to do it for them.

Sorry I'm new too but I registered just to say that I have learned some bits fro mthis script.

[James]

I'm glad to hear that.

[nobbe]

im using general status bar ..

;; statusbar

Global $aStatusParts[2] = [420, -1]

Global $aTempStatus[2] = ["", ""]

$StatusBar = _GUICtrlStatusBarCreate($main, $aStatusParts, $aTempStatus, $SBARS_SIZEGRIP)

_GUICtrlStatusBarSetMinHeight($StatusBar, 20)

_GUICtrlStatusBarSetText($StatusBar, "....");

works nicely

[James]

Yes. But this is away if you wanted it to be quick and easy.
