NAME

Padre::Wx::StatusBar - Encapsulates status bar customizations

DESCRIPTION

Padre::Wx::StatusBar implements Padre's status bar. It is the bottom pane holding various, err, status information on Padre.

The information shown are (in order):

  • File name of current document, with a leading star if file has been updated and not saved

  • (Optional) Icon showing status of background tasks

  • (Optional) MIME type of current document

  • Type of end of lines of current document

  • Position in current document

It inherits from Wx::StatusBar, so check Wx documentation to see all the available methods that can be applied to it besides the added ones (see below).
