GtkStatusbar
report messages of minor importance to the user.
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).
It may also have a resize grip (a triangular area in the lower right corner)
which can be clicked on to resize the window containing the statusbar.
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.
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().
#GtkDialog
another way of reporting information to the user.
Contains private data that should be modified with the functions described below.
Is emitted whenever a new message is popped off a statusbar's stack.
@statusbar: the object which received the signal.
@context_id: the context id of the relevant message/statusbar.
@text: the message that was just popped.
Is emitted whenever a new message gets pushed onto a statusbar's stack.
@statusbar: the object which received the signal.
@context_id: the context id of the relevant message/statusbar.
@text: the message that was pushed.
Creates a new #GtkStatusbar ready for messages.
@Returns: the new #GtkStatusbar.
Returns a new context identifier, given a description of the actual context.
@statusbar: a #GtkStatusbar.
@context_description: textual description of what context the new message is
being used in.
@Returns: an integer id.
Pushes a new message onto a statusbar's stack.
@statusbar: a #GtkStatusbar.
@context_id: the message's context id, as returned by
gtk_statusbar_get_context_id().
@text: the message to add to the statusbar.
@Returns: the message's new message id for use with gtk_statusbar_remove().
Removes the message at the top of a #GtkStatusBar's stack.

@message_id: a message identifier, as returned by gtk_statusbar_push().
Sets whether the statusbar has a resize grip. %TRUE by default.

@setting: %TRUE to have a resize grip.
Returns whether the statusbar has a resize grip.
@statusbar: a #GtkStatusBar.
