DetectStatusBar Events

Code updated For 5.20+

Hello,

Could anybody help me in order to detect the StatusBar events?

Here it is an example from fsw, but if we add a TreeGadget, the detection goes wrong.

Code: Select all

; Example Of A Statusbar Click Event
; (c) 2003 - By FSW
;
; Tested under WinXP
; do whatever you want with it
;
#Window = 10
#StatusbarFocus = 528
#StatusBar = 1
#Tree = 2

Procedure  LoWord (var)
  ProcedureReturn var & $FFFF
EndProcedure


Procedure MyWindowCallback(WindowID, Message, wParam, lParam)
  Result = #PB_ProcessPureBasicEvents
  
  wParamLo = LoWord(wParam)
  lParamLo = LoWord(lParam)
  
  ;513 = $201
  
  If Message = #StatusbarFocus ;#StatusbarFocus  ;528 = $210 = #WM_PARENTNOTIFY
    If wParamLo = #WM_LBUTTONDOWN And lParamLo < 270 ; 270 is the width of field 1
      MessageRequester("Message", "Left Mouse Click In StatusBar Field 1. "+"MousePos: "+Str(lParamLo))
    ElseIf wParamLo = 513 And lParamLo > 270 + 2 ; there is a BAR between the 2 fields...
      MessageRequester("Message", "Left Mouse Click In StatusBar Field 2. "+"MousePos: "+Str(lParamLo))
    ElseIf wParamLo = 516
      MessageRequester("Message", "Right Mouse Click In StatusBar. "+"MousePos: "+Str(lParamLo))
    EndIf
    
  EndIf
  
  ProcedureReturn Result
EndProcedure


If OpenWindow(#Window,0,0,355,180,"Statusbar Click",#PB_Window_SystemMenu|#PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
  
  CreateStatusBar(#StatusBar, WindowID(#Window))
  AddStatusBarField(90)
  
  StatusBarText(#StatusBar, 0, "Hello World!")
  AddStatusBarField(270)
  AddStatusBarField(80)
  
  TreeGadget(#Tree,10,45,100,100,#PB_Tree_AlwaysShowSelection)
  SendMessage_(GadgetID(#Tree),$111D,0,14675967)
  
  
  SetWindowCallback(@MyWindowCallback())
  
  Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
  
EndIf

Thanks in advanced.

Looks like a message is getting processed as a statusbar click that shouldn't be. Other childwindows can generate #wm_parentnotify messages. You can always add a quick check to make sure the active child window is the status bar:

Code: Select all

; Example Of A Statusbar Click Event 
; (c) 2003 - By FSW 
; 
; Tested under WinXP 
; do whatever you want with it 
; 
#Window = 10 
#StatusbarFocus = 528 
#StatusBar = 1 
#Tree = 2 

Global Statusbar

Procedure.l  LoWord (var.l) 
  ProcedureReturn var & $FFFF 
EndProcedure 

Procedure MyWindowCallback(WindowID, Message, wParam, lParam) 
  Result = #PB_ProcessPureBasicEvents 

  wParamLo = LoWord(wParam) 
  lParamLo = LoWord(lParam) 

  ;513 = $201 

    If Message = #StatusbarFocus ;#StatusbarFocus  ;528 = $210 = #WM_PARENTNOTIFY 
      If ChildWindowFromPoint_(WindowID(#Window),WindowMouseX(#Window),WindowMouseY(#Window)) = Statusbar
        If wParamLo = #WM_LBUTTONDOWN And lParamLo < 270 ; 270 is the width of field 1 
          MessageRequester("Message", "Left Mouse Click In StatusBar Field 1. "+"MousePos: "+Str(lParamLo)) 
        ElseIf wParamLo = 513 And lParamLo > 270 + 2 ; there is a BAR between the 2 fields... 
          MessageRequester("Message", "Left Mouse Click In StatusBar Field 2. "+"MousePos: "+Str(lParamLo)) 
        ElseIf wParamLo = 516 
          MessageRequester("Message", "Right Mouse Click In StatusBar. "+"MousePos: "+Str(lParamLo)) 
        EndIf 
      EndIf 
    EndIf
  
  ProcedureReturn Result 
EndProcedure 

If OpenWindow(#Window,0,0,355,180,"Statusbar Click",#PB_Window_SystemMenu|#PB_Window_ScreenCentered) 
  If CreateGadgetList(WindowID(#Window))    
   Statusbar = CreateStatusBar(#StatusBar, WindowID(#Window)) 
    StatusBarText(#StatusBar, 0, "Hello World!") 
      AddStatusBarField(270) 
      AddStatusBarField(80) 
      
    TreeGadget(#Tree,10,45,100,100,#PB_Tree_AlwaysShowSelection) 
      SendMessage_(GadgetID(#Tree),$111D,0,14675967) 
  EndIf    
    
  SetWindowCallback(@MyWindowCallback()) 
  
  Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow 
    
EndIf

A global var and ChildWindowFromPoint seems the most efficient solution as #WM_PARENTNOTIFY messages don't carry the childwindow identifier with them for buttondown events.

A somewhat cleaner solution imho would be to subclass the statusbar and then its callback is only catching events for it and there's no need to test for the right childwindow. I have to go out right now for a couple hours but I can post code for that if nobody beats me to it in the meantime.

Here is the subclassed version, I think it's much cleaner this way:

Code: Select all

#Window = 10 
#StatusBar = 1 
#Tree = 2 

Global OldStatusBar

Procedure.l  LoWord (var.l) 
  ProcedureReturn var & $FFFF 
EndProcedure 

Procedure SubClassedStatusBar(hwnd, msg, wParam, lParam) 
  result = CallWindowProc_(OldStatusBar, hwnd, msg, wparam, lparam) 
  lParamLo = LoWord(lParam) 
  Select msg 
    Case #WM_LBUTTONDOWN 
      If lParamLo < 270 ; 270 is the width of field 1 
        MessageRequester("Message", "Left Mouse Click In StatusBar Field 1. "+"MousePos: "+Str(lParamLo)) 
      ElseIf lParamLo > 270 + 2 ; there is a BAR between the 2 fields... 
        MessageRequester("Message", "Left Mouse Click In StatusBar Field 2. "+"MousePos: "+Str(lParamLo)) 
      EndIf
    Case #WM_RBUTTONDOWN
      MessageRequester("Message", "Right Mouse Click In StatusBar. "+"MousePos: "+Str(lParamLo)) 
  EndSelect
  ProcedureReturn Result 
EndProcedure 

If OpenWindow(#Window,0,0,355,180,"Statusbar Click",#PB_Window_SystemMenu|#PB_Window_ScreenCentered) 
  If CreateGadgetList(WindowID(#Window))    
    StatusBar = CreateStatusBar(#StatusBar, WindowID(#Window)) 
    StatusBarText(#StatusBar, 0, "Hello World!") 
      AddStatusBarField(270) 
      AddStatusBarField(80) 
    TreeGadget(#Tree,10,45,100,100,#PB_Tree_AlwaysShowSelection) 
    SendMessage_(GadgetID(#Tree),$111D,0,14675967) 
  EndIf    
    
  OldStatusBar = SetWindowLong_(StatusBar, #GWL_WNDPROC, @SubclassedStatusBar()) 
  
  Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow 
    
EndIf

Updated netmaestro's code to work with the latest PureBasic:

Code: Select all

#Window=10
#StatusBar=1

Global StatusBarProc

Procedure SubClassedStatusBar(hWnd,Msg,wParam,lParam)
  result=CallWindowProc_(StatusBarProc,hWnd,Msg,wParam,lParam)
  lParamLo=lParam & $FFFF
  Select Msg
    Case #WM_LBUTTONDOWN
      If lParamLo<100 ; 100 is the width of field 1 
        MessageRequester("Message","Left Mouse Click In StatusBar Field 1. "+"MousePos: "+Str(lParamLo)) 
      ElseIf lParamLo>100+2 And lParamLo<270 ; there is a BAR between the 2 fields... 
        MessageRequester("Message","Left Mouse Click In StatusBar Field 2. "+"MousePos: "+Str(lParamLo)) 
      EndIf
    Case #WM_RBUTTONDOWN
      MessageRequester("Message","Right Mouse Click In StatusBar. "+"MousePos: "+Str(lParamLo)) 
  EndSelect
  ProcedureReturn Result 
EndProcedure 

If OpenWindow(#Window,0,0,355,180,"Statusbar Click",#PB_Window_SystemMenu|#PB_Window_ScreenCentered) 
  StatusBar=CreateStatusBar(#StatusBar,WindowID(#Window)) 
  AddStatusBarField(100) 
  StatusBarText(#StatusBar,0,"Field 1") 
  AddStatusBarField(270) 
  StatusBarText(#StatusBar,1,"Field 2") 
  
  StatusBarProc=SetWindowLongPtr_(StatusBar,#GWL_WNDPROC,@SubclassedStatusBar()) 
  
  Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent()=#PB_Event_CloseWindow 
  
EndIf

If I'm not wrong, usually Windows controls react on button up. So button up events should be more "natural"?

Why not as in the Code Questions already solved.
Only adapted with query of the StatusBarID (Handle).

Code: Select all

; Self made clickable statusbar 
; written by Axolotl 
; 
Procedure WinCallback(Hwnd, UMsg, WParam, LParam) 
  Protected field, *nmm.NMMOUSE 

  Select UMsg 
    Case #WM_NOTIFY
        *nmm = LParam 
        If *nmm\hdr\hwndFrom = StatusBarID(0)
          field = *nmm\dwItemSpec   ; zero-based index of the fields 
          ; field is -2 for an undefined area as field :) 
          Select *nmm\hdr\code 
            Case #NM_CLICK    : Debug "Left Click on " + field 
            Case #NM_DBLCLK   : Debug "Left Double Click on " + field 
            Case #NM_RCLICK   : Debug "Right Click on " + field 
            Case #NM_RDBLCLK  : Debug "Right Double Click on " + field 
          EndSelect
        EndIf
  EndSelect 
  ProcedureReturn #PB_ProcessPureBasicEvents 
EndProcedure 

If OpenWindow(0, 100, 150, 300, 100, "PureBasic - StatusBar Example", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_SizeGadget)

  If CreateStatusBar(0, WindowID(0))
    AddStatusBarField(100)
    AddStatusBarField(50)
    AddStatusBarField(100)
  EndIf

  StatusBarText(0, 0, "Area 1")
  StatusBarText(0, 1, "Area 2", #PB_StatusBar_BorderLess)
  StatusBarText(0, 2, "Area 3", #PB_StatusBar_Right | #PB_StatusBar_Raised)

  SetWindowCallback(@WinCallback(), 0) 
  Repeat
  Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf

Because as I said there:

BarryG wrote:See also netmaestro's code here, which shows the mouse X position in any field

So, some extra useful functionality if you want to click a specific position in a StatusBar field.
