wxPython – SetStatusText() function in wx.StatusBar

In this article we are going to learn about SetStatusText() function associated with wx.StatuBar class of wxPython. SetStatusText() function is simply used to set the status text for the i-th field.
The given text will replace the current text. The display of the status bar is updated immediately, so there is no need to call wx.Window.Update after calling this function.

Syntax: wx.StatuBar.SetStatusText(self, text, i=0)

Parameters:

Parameter Input Type Description
text string The text to be set. Use an empty string (“”) to clear the field.
i int The field to set, starting from zero.

Code Example:




import wx
  
  
class Example(wx.Frame):
  
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(Example, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
  
        self.InitUI()
  
    def InitUI(self):
  
        self.locale = wx.Locale(wx.LANGUAGE_ENGLISH)
        self.statusbar = wx.StatusBar()
        self.statusbar.Create(self, id = 1, name = "Status Bar")
        self.SetStatusBar(self.statusbar)
        self.SetSize((350, 250))
  
        # SET TOTAL NUMBER OF FIELDS AND RESPECTIVE WIDTHS
        self.statusbar.SetFieldsCount(3, [100, 80, 60])
  
        # SET TEXT FOR ALL FIELDS
        self.statusbar.SetStatusText("Field One", 0)
        self.statusbar.SetStatusText("Field Two", 1)
        self.statusbar.SetStatusText("Field Three", 2)
  
        self.SetTitle('New Frame Title')
        self.Centre()
        print(self.statusbar.GetMinHeight())
  
  
def main():
    app = wx.App()
    ex = Example(None)
    ex.Show()
    app.MainLoop()
  
  
if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
