Description
A GtkStatusbar is usually placed along the bottom of an application's
main GtkWindow. It may provide a regular commentary of the application's
status (as is usually the case in a web browser, for example), or may be
used to simply output a message when the status changes, (when an upload
is complete in an FTP client, for example).
Status bars in GTK+ maintain a stack of messages. The message at
the top of the each bar’s stack is the one that will currently be displayed.
Any messages added to a statusbar’s stack must specify a
context id that is used to uniquely identify
the source of a message. This context id can be generated by
gtk_statusbar_get_context_id(), given a message and the statusbar that
it will be added to. Note that messages are stored in a stack, and when
choosing which message to display, the stack structure is adhered to,
regardless of the context identifier of a message.
One could say that a statusbar maintains one stack of messages for
display purposes, but allows multiple message producers to maintain
sub-stacks of the messages they produced (via context ids).
Status bars are created using gtk_statusbar_new().
Messages are added to the bar’s stack with gtk_statusbar_push().
The message at the top of the stack can be removed using
gtk_statusbar_pop(). A message can be removed from anywhere in the
stack if its message id was recorded at the time it was added. This
is done using gtk_statusbar_remove().
CSS node
GtkStatusbar has a single CSS node with name statusbar.
Functions
gtk_statusbar_new ()
GtkWidget *
gtk_statusbar_new (void);
Creates a new GtkStatusbar ready for messages.
gtk_statusbar_get_context_id ()
guint
gtk_statusbar_get_context_id (GtkStatusbar *statusbar,
const gchar *context_description);
Returns a new context identifier, given a description
of the actual context. Note that the description is

gtk_statusbar_push ()
guint
gtk_statusbar_push (GtkStatusbar *statusbar,
guint context_id,
const gchar *text);

guint context_id);
Removes the first message in the GtkStatusbar’s stack
with the given context id.
Note that this may not change the displayed message, if
the message at the top of the stack has a different
context id.
gtk_statusbar_remove ()
void
gtk_statusbar_remove (GtkStatusbar *statusbar,
guint context_id,
guint message_id);
