1-5 Status Bar
CX-Supervisor provides help and status information in a Status Bar located at
the bottom of the main window.
The Status Bar has two main active areas: the Help Message area, and the
Cursor Co ordinates area.
The Help Message area is used by CX-Supervisor to display helpful
information concerning menu selections and controls. It is located at the left
hand end of the Status Bar, and can display messages similar to the following:
The Cursor Co ordinates area provides position information for the current
location of the mouse pointer as it tracks around the active page within the CX-
Supervisor window. If an object on a page is selected, the status area displays
the co-ordinates of the location of that object. An example of the system status
area is shown below:
The first two display panels show the current x and y co ordinates of the
mouse pointer within the currently active page. As the mouse pointer leaves
the confines of a page and moves into the client area of the main CX-
Supervisor window, the last recorded co ordinates are held in these panels.
If an object is clicked on, all four panels are used by CX-Supervisor to display
the co-ordinates of that object, as follows:
The first two panels contain the distance of the top left corner of the object
from the top left of the page in pixels. The second two panels show the extent
of the object in pixels.
