Status bar text

[ayoung24]

Is it possible to read the status bar text and/or get a notification when it is changed in the current build?

What kind of information are you seeking status bar notifications for?

[ayoung24]

Well, I'd like to show the browser status text in a status bar. I suppose all I would need is a "StatusChanged" notification or something like that. It's simple to obtain the status text using "window.status", but there's no way to know when that value changes (without resorting to something horrible like a timer).

Mozilla and IE both provide this notification, is it not available in chromium?

There's a setStatusText() method in BrowserWebViewDelegate that may receive the status information that you're looking for. It's not currently exposed by the CEF API but, if it provides the info that you're looking for, it could be added rather easily. We should probably add API callbacks for setMouseOverURL() and setToolTipText() at the same time. I've created an issue to track the request here:
