StatusBar

Family: Shells & Overlays
Namespace: Tessera.Controls

Use StatusBar when this interaction is the best match for your screen workflow.

When to use

• Persistent shell hints, shortcuts, and state summary.
• You need low-noise feedback without modal interruptions.

Minimal usage

csharp.cs

using Tessera.Controls;
using Tessera.Layout;

var status = new StatusBar
{
    LeftText = "Orders: 127",
    RightText = "Enter refreshes   Ctrl+Q quits"
};

var body = new Label { Text = "Workspace shell" };

return Screen.Build(window =>
{
    window.Footer(1, status);
    window.Body(content => content.Fill(body));
});

Common pitfalls

• Keep copy short; status bars are for signals, not paragraphs.
• Avoid using status bar as a replacement for validation surfaces.
