Interface IStatusBar

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

IStatusBarProxy, MxStatusBar

public interface IStatusBar
extends Serializable

Provides access to members that define the application statusbar.

Description

The status bar is the horizontal area at the bottom of an ArcGIS application window. It provides information about the current state of the application.

The status bar provides information about the selected command, and may also display a progress bar while something is being processed. For example, if you select a layer in the table of contents in ArcMap, the status bar will tell you how many features are currently selected.

The IStatusBar interface allows you to set the properties of the status bar. Use IApplication::StatusBar to get a reference to the status bar object of the application.

Remarks

The status bar is divided into sections called panes. The Panes property specifies which panes of the status bar are currently visible.

The ProgressBar property and the HideProgressBar, ShowProgressBar, and StepProgressBar methods are used to control the step progress bar on the status bar.

The ProgressAnimation property and the HideProgressAnimation, ShowProgressAnimation, and PlayProgressAnimation methods control the animation progressor (spinning globe) on the status bar. The animation progressor displays in the animation pane. You can use the default spinning globe for the animation progressor or specify your own animation file (.avi).

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Method Detail

setMessage

void setMessage(int pane,
                String message)
                throws IOException,
                       AutomationException

The message displayed by one of the status bar panes.

Parameters:

pane - The pane (in)

message - The message (in)

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getMessage

String getMessage(int pane)
                  throws IOException,
                         AutomationException

The message displayed by one of the status bar panes.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Parameters:

pane - The pane (in)

Returns:

The message

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

setPanes

void setPanes(int panes)
              throws IOException,
                     AutomationException

Indicates which standard panes are shown by the status bar. Use a combination of esriStatusBarPanes constants.

Product Availability

esriStatusBarPanes

getPanes

int getPanes()
             throws IOException,
                    AutomationException

Indicates which standard panes are shown by the status bar. Use a combination of esriStatusBarPanes constants.

Remarks

The status bar is divided into sections called panes. The Panes property specifies which panes of the status bar are currently visible.

The esriStatusBarPanes constants define which panes are shown. The Panes property is a bit field; this means that you can use a combination of the esriStatusBarPanes constants. Add up the values of the panes you want shown and set the Panes property to the total.

Although, the esriStatusBarPanes enumeration is only available to developers with ArcGIS for Desktop, all developers can work with this property as a long.

The default value of Panes is 7; this means that the main (0), animation (1), position (2), and page position (4) panes are visible (0 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 7).

You can set the Panes property to 255 to show all panes.
