Interface TerminalStatusBar

All Superinterfaces:

StatusBar, VirtualSessionComponent

All Known Implementing Classes:

AWTTerminalStatusBar, SwingTerminalStatusBar

public interface TerminalStatusBar
extends StatusBar, VirtualSessionComponent

Extended interface for a VirtualSessionComponent that is suitable for use with components that provide some kind off status bar made up of many different StatusElement implementations. For example, the Swing terminal toolkit provides a component that will show each element as a label that appears slighly indented.

Each element must provide a 'weight' that determines the proportion of the entire StatusBar it will take up. For ease of use, the weight value should follow the same rules as for the standard AWT java.awt.GridBagConstratins.weightx.
