Can the status bar find out in which pane it is displayed?

Help & Support
1

I'm tinkering with my status bar. Is there a way to determine whether it is currently being displayed in the left pane, right pane or in a single pane lister?

I'd like to display something only at the very right end of the status bar, ie. in a single pane lister or otherwise in the right status bar.

(Using separate definitions for left/right panes doesn't help - and it seems that for single pane listers, the definition for the left pane is used.)

Is this possible?

I can't think of a good way to do it at the moment, but we should be able to add one. I'll put it on our list.

We've added this to the evaluator for the next beta (13.6.2). The value "dual" will be set to 0 for a single display, 1 for left/top and 2 for right/bottom.

Wow, you're fast - thanks! :smiley:

Great, works perfectly in 13.6.2: By using the evaluator
{=(dual == 1) ? "" : "hello" =}
I can show something only in single or right/bottom.
Thank you!

I like it: {=(dual == 1) ? "In Left Lister" : "In Right Lister" =}
