IC 6.14: How to write to the status line of a edit-window?

StefanSL

 Dear all,

i'm desperately looking for a possibility to write commands or status messages to
the status line of a design window, but without luck until now, neither the documentation
nor this forum were very helpful;

currently i'm writing output to the user  to the CIW, but i'm not happy with that cause
quite often you don't have the CIW directly in your field of vision, so my users have been
waiting for something to happen whilst virtuoso was waiting for some input...

 any possibility to put my messages to the status line of the design window?

thanks for your help

Stefan

  • Hi Andrew,

    thanks for your fast response;

    using
    hiChangeBannerLabel(hiGetCurrentWindow() "STEFAN2" 0)
    i can change the label or add labels at the lower right corner of the window, to the right
    of the "Cmd:"-label, but i cannot write to the lower left part where virtuoso usually shows
    command to the user;

    are there more options to hiChangeBannerLabel, did i miss something or is there
    another command available?

    this solution is much better than writing to the CIW, but... i'd prefer the opposite corner :-(

    kind regards
    Stefan
