Hi all,
For my phd I'm updating some old f60 code to idl. Something I've been
looking about for information on is how I can have a window where I
can post status messages.
In other words I'd like to divert all my print statments from the
output log window to a window. This is because I hope to distribute
the code with the IDL VM to other users when it's complete/nearly
complete to see what features people would like added/improved.
Any ideas on how I'd go about this. Preferrably I'd like to have
something where I could use commands similar to:
statuswindow, "Calculations Starting", /newline
statuswindow, /resetwindow
etc, and obviously I'd need it to remain "on top". If anyone could
pass on any advice or point me in the right direction I would be very
grateful.
Regards,
Lloyd Watkin
