410 Appendix B: iTool Compound Widgets
CW_ITSTATUSBAR iTool Developer’s Guide
The user value for a widget can be accessed and modified at any time by using the
GET_UVALUE and SET_UVALUE keywords to the WIDGET_CONTROL
procedure.
XSIZE
Set this keyword to an integer specifying the initial width of the status bar. See
“Resizing CW_ITSTATUSBAR Widgets” on page 408 for additional details. The
default XSIZE is 640 pixels.
Keywords to WIDGET_CONTROL and WIDGET_INFO
The widget ID returned by most compound widgets is actually the ID of the
compound widget’s base widget. This means that many keywords to the
WIDGET_CONTROL and WIDGET_INFO routines that affect or return information
on base widgets can be used with compound widgets.
See “Creating a Compound Widget” (Chapter 2, Widget Application Programming)
for a more complete discussion of controlling compound widgets using
WIDGET_CONTROL and WIDGET_INFO.
Widget Events Returned by the CW_ITSTATUSBAR
Widget
CW_IT* compound widgets do not return widget events. All interaction with the
iTool user interface is accomplished via the iTool messaging system and the callback
mechanism implemented in the user interface creation routine.
