# Padre::Wx::StatusBar(3pm)

Encapsulates status bar customizations

## NAME

Padre::Wx::StatusBar - Encapsulates status bar customizations

## DESCRIPTION

`"Padre::Wx::StatusBar"` implements Padre's status bar. It is the bottom pane holding various, err, status information on Padre.

The information shown are (in order):

- •

  File name of current document, with a leading star if file has been updated and not saved

- •

  (Optional) Icon showing status of background tasks

- •

  (Optional) MIME type of current document

- •

  Type of end of lines of current document

- •

  Position in current document

It inherits from `"Wx::StatusBar"`, so check Wx documentation to see all the available methods that can be applied to it besides the added ones (see below).

## METHODS

### "new"

```
    my $statusbar = Padre::Wx::StatusBar->new( $main );
```

Create and return a new Padre status bar. One should pass the `$main` Padre window as argument, to get a reference to the status bar parent.

### "clear"

```
    $statusbar->clear;
```

Clear all the status bar fields, i.e. they will display an empty string in all fields.

### "say"

```
    $statusbar->say('Hello World!');
```

Temporarily overwrite only the leftmost filename part of the status bar.

It will return to it's normal value when the status bar is next refreshed for normal reasons (such as a keystroke or a file panel switch).

### "refresh"

```
    $statusbar->refresh;
```

Force an update of the document fields in the status bar.

### "update\_task\_status"

```
    $statusbar->update_task_status;
```

Checks whether a task status icon update is in order and if so, changes the icon to one of the other states

### "update\_pos"

```
    $statusbar->update_pos;
```

Update the cursor position

### "on\_resize"

```
    $statusbar->on_resize( $event );
```

Handler for the `"EVT_SIZE"` `$event`. Used to move the task load bitmap to its position.
