## Detailed Description

Display status messages.

You can insert text labels or custom widgets. Their geometry is managed internally. KStatusBar resizes itself, but positioning is left to KMainWindow (or to you, if you don't use KMainWindow ).

A special type of item is a message which is a temporary text-message displayed on top of other items in full-width. Messages are visible for specified time, or until you call the slot QStatusBar::clear(). See QStatusBar::message for details.

KStatusBar inherits QStatusBar, you can freely use all QStatusBar methods.

Empty text items are not visible. They will become visible when you change (add) text.

enum BarStatus { Toggle, Show, Hide } | ### BarStatus

WARNING: This enum is only for backward compatibility and it may be removed. No method here uses it.

KStatusBar ( QWidget* parent = 0L, const char* name = 0L ) | ### KStatusBar

Construct KStatusBar object. `parent` is usually KMainWindow.

~KStatusBar () | ### ~KStatusBar

Destructor.

Deletes all internal objects.

void insertItem (const QString& text, int id, int stretch=0, bool permanent=false ) | ### insertItem

Insert text label into the status bar. Paremeters `stretch` and `permanent` are passed to QStatusBar::addWidget .

If `permanent` is true, then item will be placed on the far right of the statusbar and will never be hidden by QStatusBar::message.

Parameters:

id | id of item
stretch | stretch passed to QStatusBar::addWidget
permanent | is item permanent or not (passed to QStatusBar::addWidget )

See also: QStatusbar::addWidget

inline void insertFixedItem (const QString& text, int id, bool permanent=false) | ### insertFixedItem

Insert fixed width text label into status bar. The width will be set according to `text`, but will remain fixed even if you change text. You can change fixed width by calling setItemFixed.

Parameters:

id | id ov item
permanent | permanent flag passed to QStatusBar::addWidget

void removeItem ( int id ) | ### removeItem

Remove an item.

Parameters:

id | The item to remove.

void changeItem ( const QString& text, int id ) | ### changeItem

The item will be resized to fit the text. If you change text to be empty, item will not be visible (untill you add some text).

Parameters:

id | The id of item.

void setItemAlignment (int id, int align) | ### setItemAlignment

Sets the alignment of item `id`. By default all fields are aligned `AlignHCenter` | `AlignVCenter`. See QLabel::setAlignment for details.

void setItemFixed (int id, int width=-1) | ### setItemFixed

Sets item `id` to have fixed width. This cannot be undone, but you can always set new fixed width.

Parameters:

id | id of item
width | fixed width in pixels. Default -1 is to adapt to text width.

void pressed ( int ) | ### pressed
