DCX - Dialog Control Xtension
 
StatusBar
This control enables you to create a status bar.

Control Styles
These control styles are available when creating a StatusBar control. Remember that the general styles disabled, group, hidden, notheme, tabstop and transparent apply to all DCX controls except the embedded Dialog and Window controls.
grip Status bar displays a sizing grip.
noauto Prevents the statusbar from being auto-positioned and resized by the parent window. The user will be responsible for the positioning and resizing of the statusbar.
noparentalign Status isn't auto-positioned when dialog's size changes.
noresize Status isn't auto-resized when dialog's size changes
tooltips Status bar has tooltips (tooltips only work for cells that have no text or cells where the text does not fit in the cell width).
top The statusbar is auto-positioned at top of dialog window.

/xdid flags
Control commands are input to the control with the /xdid command.
/xdid -k
This command lets you set the status bar background color.
Syntax:
/xdid -k [DNAME] [ID] [RGB]
Example:
/xdid -k dcx 4 $rgb(255,0,0)
 
Note.
  • You can use -1 for RGB to revert to default color.
  • This command will only work if the computer has no visual styles applied (XP themes). To use this on machines with visual styles enabled, apply the notheme style.

/xdid -l

Example:
/xdid -l dcx 4 10% 200 400 -1

/xdid -t dcx 4 2 +p 0 Cell Text $chr(9) Tooltip Text
