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

  • the problem i've mentioned above is as follows:

    when setPrompts() is run manually, from the CIW, the prompt will follow the
    command  without any delay; if i run my script repeatedly, the prompt
    seems to remain unchanged although i set it to the desired output and
    afterwards i set it back to "" or ">".

    In fact, the prompt is changed but not shown immediately, the change
    becomes visible when the user interacts with the design window;
    cause i want to use this message as a command to the user, this approach
    is not sufficiently reliable, i should stay with Andrews proposal to use
    hiChangeBannerLabel()...

    kind regards, many thanks for your support
