Nevron status bar overrides the standard Windows Forms one and extends its appearance greatly. A new NStatusBarPanel object is provided with additional customization properties like BackColor, ForeColor, ImageIndex and BorderStyle and embedded controls support.
As the NStatusBar is both INRendererProvider and INPaletteProvider its customization is very rich and easy to extend. Additional ImageList property is provided, which makes it more convenient to associate an image with a panel. You can also control the style of grip via the GriperStyle property.
The following example demonstrates how to create a status bar and customize its appearance:
| C# |
Copy Code
|
|---|---|
NStatusBar statusBar = new NStatusBar();
statusBar.Palette.Scheme = ColorScheme.LunaBlue;
statusBar.GriperStyle = GripperStyle.Lines;
|
|
| Visual Basic |
Copy Code
|
|---|---|
Dim statusBar As NStatusBar = New NStatusBar() statusBar.Palette.Scheme = ColorScheme.LunaBlue statusBar.GriperStyle = GripperStyle.Lines |
|
Nevron User Interface exposes a new custom NStatusBarPanel object which derives from StatusBarPanel and provides lots of customization properties.
The following example demonstrates how to create a NStatusBar control and add panels to it:
| C# |
Copy Code
|
|---|---|
NStatusBar statusBar = new NStatusBar(); statusBar.ImageList = this.imageList1; //create two panels and add them to the status bar NStatusBarPanel panel = new NStatusBarPanel(); panel.BorderStyle = BorderStyle3D.Raised; panel.BackColor = Color.Silver; panel.ForeColor = Color.White; statusBar.Panels.Add(panel); //create a panel with autosize spring and a progressbar on it panel = new NStatusBarPanel(); panel.AutoSize = StatusBarPanelAutoSize.Spring; panel.Control = this.nProgressBar1; panel.BorderStyle = BorderStyle3D.None; statusBar.Panels.Add(panel); |
|
| Visual Basic |
Copy Code
|
|---|---|
Dim statusBar As NStatusBar = New NStatusBar() statusBar.ImageList = Me.imageList1 'create two panels and add them to the status bar Di panel As NStatusBarPanel = New NStatusBarPanel() panel.BorderStyle = BorderStyle3D.Raised panel.BackColor = Color.Silver panel.ForeColor = Color.White statusBar.Panels.Add(panel) 'create a panel with autosize spring and a progressbar on it panel = New NStatusBarPanel() panel.AutoSize = StatusBarPanelAutoSize.Spring panel.Control = Me.nProgressBar1 panel.BorderStyle = BorderStyle3D.None statusBar.Panels.Add(panel) |
