    <statusBar
      name = NMTOKEN
      helpId = NMTOKEN
      insert = non empty token

    />

    />

    <separator />

Specifies a status bar. A status bar contains references to action and tool elements declared elsewhere in the GUI specification.

The `insert` child element or the `insert` attribute may be used to extend the previous definition of a status bar. More information in About the `insert` child element and the `insert` attribute.

Attributes:

name

  Required. Unique name identifying the status bar in this GUI specification.

helpId

  Online help ID of the status bar.

A tool contained in a status bar can be ``stretched'', that is, it can be enlarged to fill all the available horizontal space. If several tools are to be stretched, the numeric value of the `stretch` attribute specifies the amount of space given of each of them. A tool with a large `stretch` attribute is given more space than a tool with a small `stretch` attribute.

Example: standard status bar:

      <statusBar name="statusBar" helpId="statusBar">
        <tool name="checkValidityTool" />
        <tool name="statusTool" stretch="1" />
        <action name="showLogAction" />
        <tool name="clipboardTool" />
        <tool name="clipboardContentTool" />
      </statusBar>
