public static void setStatus(Component you,
                             String text)

Set the statusbar on a window which belongs to the same window as 'you' do. This is a static method that allows you to set the status on a statusbar without actually having an instance of that statusbar, or the containing MainWindow.

Parameters:

you - is a component that is positioned on the same Window as the statusbar.

text - the new text to be displayed.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if 'you' is not placed on a window which is a MainWindow.

setText

public void setText(String text)

Set the status text to be displayed on this statusbar.

setTemporaryStatusText

public void setTemporaryStatusText(String text)

set a status text that is just a temprorary indicator. If you have a long running task changes are that there is a text in the statusbar for that function, maybe even a progress bar next to it. During that long-running process the user might go over the menu and get a help text in the statusbar. This is a temporary text as the text from the long running process should re-appear when the mouse leaves the menus.

setText(String), clearTemporaryStatusText()

clearTemporaryStatusText

public void clearTemporaryStatusText()

Reset temporary text.
