Create a print out log GUI

psill000

My script has some print outs and is there a way to create a print out log GUI of those print outs.

The closest thing I could find is the  hiCreateMLTextField, but I would have to append every string to the current value. Also, I dont know how clear it may become in reading previous and if the string would become too big and cause problems.

It is not that big of an issue to append the string, just looking for the most effective way to have a print out log GUI.

The print out would be strictly used for reading print output. I know I can print to the CIW, but some users want a print out GUI.

    Paul,

    Why not assign the windowId to a variable that you can then refer to later?

    If you really don't want to do that, you could always do:

    win=hiCreateWindow(...)
    win->thisIsMyWindow=t  ; or whatever you want the property to be

    and then you can find it later by doing:

    win=car(exists(winId hiGetWindowList() winId->thisIsMyWindow))

    But it seems more sensible to keep track of it rather than having to search for a property on the window.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
