Difference between statusbar and footer for a window

[curiousgally]

What is basic difference between both of these.
I want a footer and no statusbar, but exceptions occur when i say setStatusBar(false) and setFooter(true).

Also for a window component no documentation in Widget guide document. Any other resources other than the widget document. Window Api doc doesn't mention the difference. It only mentions as 'Note that the statusBar is not part of the set of footer controls - it is a separate canvas rendered behind all footer controls' .

Thanks.

As the docs say, the footer controls are on top of the statusBar, that's the difference.

You just said there's no documentation for Window then quoted from the documentation for Window ...?

Isomorphic,

I meant for other widgets, the smarclient widget guide has explanation of properties that could be set in load_skin.js file. Window component is missing in that document.

The text I quoted was from the API's.

So does it mean Footer is on top/part of the Statusbar and you cannot have a Footer without a statusbar.

Thanks.

If you mean SmartClient_Widgets_Guide.pdf, this resource is superceded almost entirely by JavaDoc, and nothing in the QuickStart or any other documentation suggests that you use this, it's just there for completeness as it still has some old discussions that haven't been migrated yet.

Use the QuickStart Guide and JavaDoc as your primary reference. Don't use the Widgets_Guide.pdf unless we recommend that you do so.

Yes, you cannot have a footer without a statusbar.
