It depends on what in detail a status bar is ment to be and to do. Maybe it's a line of space at the bottom of the window. You can fill this space by an output, showing status "working" (hope so ;o). Also a button is okay - the button label show last message and pressing the status bar button may open the message log. Also you could use a group, containing several specialised status objects, like light-buttons, buttons, outputs, timers and so on. So there is no native status bar in FLTK, because there is no best way of being a status bar. _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
