TStatusPanel.Style Property

Determines how the status panel's text is displayed.

Pascal

property Style: TStatusPanelStyle;

C++

__property TStatusPanelStyle Style;

Description

If Style is set to psText (the default), the string contained in the Text property is displayed in the status panel, using the alignment specified by Alignment. The font is determined by the status bar's Font property.

If Style is set to psOwnerDraw, the content displayed in the status panel is drawn at runtime on the status bar's canvas by code in an OnDrawPanel event handler.

C++ Examples:

Copy Code

/*
The following code is the OnDrawPanel event handler of a
status bar.  It draws each panel of the status bar, adding
text and icons stored in ImageList1. The image list contains
as many icons as there are header sections.  This example
requires a populated image list and a statusbar with several
panels added to the Panels property.  Select each panel and
set the Style property to psOwnerDraw.
*/
void __fastcall TForm1::StatusBar1DrawPanel(TStatusBar *StatusBar,
        TStatusPanel *Panel, const TRect &Rect)
{
  TCanvas *canvas = StatusBar->Canvas;
  canvas->Brush->Color = clRed;
  canvas->FillRect(Rect);
  canvas->Font->Color = clYellow;
  ImageList1->Draw(canvas,Rect.Left,Rect.Top, Panel->Index, true);
  canvas->TextOut(Rect.left + 30, Rect.top + 2, "Panel" + IntToStr(Panel->Index));
