Is there any way of getting "Print" statements to be printed in a
certain window? What I'd like to do is have a message window, then have
the routines I've written write any error/warning/information messages
to this common window. Any ideas how this could be accomplished? Some
sort of widget program maybe?
cheers,
S

No, no. *Object* widgets!
Cheers,

I thought that the log window does exactly that. I may be wrong of
course. And objectified output would be a lot more fun indeed :-)

Yes, the idea is to have more than one routine write messages (not just error
messages) to a common window - which could be closed if you really don't want
to those errors. Widgets it is then.

A text widget will do what he wants, but it would
be even better if that text widget was attached
to an object and could be updated with a SetMessage
method. :-)

DIALOG_MESSAGE or David Fanning's ERROR_MESSAGE are good for per incident
error reporting, but it sounds like Stu wants to generate an error log in a
persistent "message window," not just show the error message in a modal
window and have it disappear. Stu, if you're truly not satisfied with
reporting your errors to the output log using PRINT or MESSAGE, then you are
correct that you will have to learn widget programming. Buy Fanning's book.
A text widget widget will do what you want.
Are you sure you want to scare users with a record of errors? Many of us
even turn off some of the default error reporting to the output log.
Good luck,
TC

What
's with dialog_message?
Online Help:
The DIALOG_MESSAGE function creates a modal (blocking) dialog box that
can be used to display information for the user. The dialog must be
dismissed, by clicking on one of its option buttons, before execution of
the widget program can continue. ...
