Tk StatusBar help

Is anyone familiar at all with Ruby Tk’s StatusBar. I have not been
able to find out how to implement a StatusBar in my Ruby code. Could
someone lend me a hand?

Thanks

If you’re on windows look for something in your ruby dir like

doc\ruby\ruby-1.8.6\sample\tk\tkextlib\bwidget\demo.rb

I believe bwidgets is pure tcl/tk, so there isn’t any additional C
library to build/install.

Anyway, the demo seems to work for me, and it has a nice little status
bar.

HTH.

If you can use some Tk extension libraries (e.g. BWidget),
it will be a simple and easy way to use a progressbar widget
on such libraries.
But, if you have to create a GUI with pure Tcl/Tk (without
extensions), the following source may be useful.

require ‘tk’

class MyProgressBar < TkWindow
include TkComposite

def initialize_composite(keys = {})
# defaults
bar_color = ‘gray60’
trough_color = ‘gray90’
text_color = ‘black’
reverse_color = ‘white’

font_size = -12

@width  = 150
@height =  20

# create widgets
@font = TkFont.new(['Helvetica', font_size])

@var = TkVariable.new('')

@frame.configure(:borderwidth=>3, :relief=>:ridge)

@size_base = TkFrame.new(@frame, :width=>@width, :height=>@height,
                         :borderwidth=>0).pack(:expand=>false,
                                               :fill=>:none)

@size_base.pack_propagate(false)

@base_label = TkLabel.new(@size_base, :textvariable=>@var,

:font=>@font,
:highlightthickness=>0, :borderwidth=>0,
:foreground=>text_color,
:background=>trough_color,
:padx=>1, :pady=>1).pack(:fill=>:both,
:expand=>true)
@prog_bar = TkFrame.new(@base_label,
:highlightthickness=>0, :borderwidth=>0
).place(:x=>0, :y=>0,
:anchor=>:nw,
