PANEINFOEX Overview
The SECCustomStatusBar adds several new configurable attributes to your frame window’s status bar. PANEINFOEX is a structure which aggregates all attributes of one pane of a custom status bar. All attributes introduced by SECCustomStatusBar and even those defined by its SECStatusBar base class are included. By aggregating all attributes into one data structure, it becomes much more convenient to set and/or retrieve pane attributes. For this reason, both SECCustomStatusBar::SetPaneInfoEx and SECCustomStatusBar::GetPaneInfoEx expect a PANEINFOEX type argument.
See the STATBAR sample in the \SAMPLES\TOOLKIT\STANDARD\UIEXT\STATBAR directory for a demonstration of how PANEINFOEX is used by SECCustomStatusBar to provide custom status bar handling.
Example
The following code fragment shows how flags must be set for each attribute you want a status bar pane to have:
// Configure the second pane to display the light bitmap and use the gripping hand cursor.
PANEINFOEX pex;
pex.iIndex = 2;
pex.hCursor = AfxGetApp()->LoadCursor(IDC_GRIPPING_HAND);
pex.pBitmap = m_pBitmap;
pex.iFlags = SBP_CURSOR | SBP_BITMAP;
m_wndStatusBar.SetPaneInfoEx(&pex);
Developer Notes
SBP_TEXT, SBP_BITMAP, and SBP_STYLE are mutually exclusive.
