A problem with status bar

searcher123 · April 21, 2008, 8:01pm

Dears all,
I put a toolbar between right and left display windows of my dual vertical lister. Each window have its own special information space on status bar (I used Status Bar (Dual)). In addition, I separated the source and destination information space on status bar by a Status Bar Bar Graph that is as width as my toolbar width and must be placed exactly under it (pic-2).

This works was performed by following code:

{rtree} {i:dir} <#0000FF>{sdL}<#>/<#0000FF>{tdL}</#> {i:.txt} <#007A00>{sfL}<#>/<#007A00>{tfL}</#> (<#663366>{siL} selected</#> = <#BB0000>{sbaL} </#>){pad35} {puL}% full, {dfL} free {bg+v=-{sb}/{dfDa}, w=75,c=#ffff00,f=2} {rtree2} {i:dir} <#0000FF>{sdR}<#>/<#0000FF>{tdR}</#> {i:.txt} <#007A00>{sfR}<#>/<#007A00>{tfR}</#> (<#663366>{siR} selected</#> = <#BB0000>{sbaR} </#>){pad34} {puR}% full, {dfR} free

Although the above code is worked, but have some problem too. For example, since I used {pad} for dimensioning, if you change the system resolution or open the Folder Tree pane, the arrangement of status bar will be destroyed.

After above long story, now my main question:

For fixing the place of Bar Graph exactly under my toolbar, I used {rleft} but {rleft} was crazy. "The right-hand edge of the section is aligned with the right-hand edge of the left-hand file display" DOpus Help said, but {rleft} in my experience pushed the Status Bar Bar Graph to the left-hand edge of the right-hand file display (Pic-1). Also without b[/b], I cannot push the Drive Size sections to the end of their locations on status bar.

The Pic-1 was produced of the following code:

{rtree} {i:dir} <#0000FF>{sdL}<#>/<#0000FF>{tdL}</#> {i:.txt} <#007A00>{sfL}<#>/<#007A00>{tfL}</#> (<#663366>{siL} selected</#> = <#BB0000>{sbaL} </#>) {puL}% full, {dfL} free {rleft} {bg+v=-{sb}/{dfDa}, w=75,c=#ffff00,f=2} {rtree2} {i:dir} <#0000FF>{sdR}<#>/<#0000FF>{tdR}</#> {i:.txt} <#007A00>{sfR}<#>/<#007A00>{tfR}</#> (<#663366>{siR} selected</#> = <#BB0000>{sbaR} </#>) {puR}% full, {dfR} free

Can I solve this problem?

Best Regards

What a bad record I was broke more than 12h is left but no answer is received

Don't forget that people answering here do so on a voluntary basis - complaining when the speed of response is not up to the standard you've noticed so far is not a good way to get help...

I believe it and I am thankful of anyone answered my questions, even when the answer is not useful for me (please see my previous letters to now). You are wrong, I'm not complaining, my letter was just a heartache

This is as close as I can get:

{rtree} {i:dir} <#0000FF>{sdL}<#>/<#0000FF>{tdL}</#> {i:.txt} <#007A00>{sfL}<#>/<#007A00>{tfL}</#> (<#663366>{siL} selected</#> = <#BB0000>{sbaL} </#>) {puL}% full, {dfL} free {bg+v=-{sb}/{dfDa}, w=75,c=#ffff00,f=2} {rleft-} {wtree2} {i:dir} <#0000FF>{sdR}<#>/<#0000FF>{tdR}</#> {i:.txt} <#007A00>{sfR}<#>/<#007A00>{tfR}</#> (<#663366>{siR} selected</#> = <#BB0000>{sbaR} </#>) {puR}% full, {dfR} free
The %-free panels are left-aligned, though. Making the second one right-aligned would be easy but I don't know a good way to make the first one like that while having something that lines up with a central toolbar as well. I think you can have one or the other but not both, given the current status bar codes.

Oh dear Leo, I don't know in what manner I can thank you

As always, your help was very useful for me. Fixing the Bar Graph in middle was the first in order of importance for me. I will solve other disarrangements by all means.

What is the minus after {rleft} for? I think this minus must be a "Magic Minus", because my sleeplessness was medicated by one of them immediately I didn't read anything about it on DOpus Help.

Thank you again, thanks…thanks…thanks.

Best Regards

The - makes things right-aligned I think. Something like that.
