Subject: RE: ProgressBar in StatusPanel
Thanks for the tip Mor+ol (sorry about the name, that's the way it
transmitted).
There's one typo (csAcceptsControls) and you'd probably want to include the
default ControlStyle options:
unit LMyStatusBar;
interface
uses
Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms, Dialogs,
ComCtrls;
type
TMyStatusBar = class(TStatusBar)
private
{ Private declarations }
protected
{ Protected declarations }
public
constructor Create(AOwner: TComponent); override;
published
{ Published declarations }
end;
procedure Register;
implementation
procedure Register;
begin
RegisterComponents('Win32', [TMyStatusBar]);
end;
constructor TMyStatusBar.Create(AOwner: TComponent);
begin
inherited Create(AOwner);
ControlStyle := [csAcceptsControls, csCaptureMouse, csClickEvents,
csDoubleClicks, csSetCaption];
end;
end.
That's all there is to it. An instance of this StatusBar will accept
ProgressBars, Buttons, Images, Labels, etc., you just have to adjust the
size of the controls to fit inside the restricted space of the StatusBar
(e.g. for a ProgressBar set Top to 3 and Height to 15 and Left to 0 if you
want it flush with the left side of the ProgressBar or wherever you want it
to appear.)
I think it's certainly easier than handling an OwnerDrawn StatusBar.

1)Use one of many komponents on DSP or Torry ... or
2) Define TMyStatusBar inherited from TStatusBar with ControlStyle
csAcceptControls
ad2) I didn't try it but it should work.
Excuse my English.
Many successes.
