Mirroring the output pane on a progress bar

[zandar]

Hi guys,

I want to "mirror" QM's output pane on a static text control of a dialog that should be created upon launching the macro and be "updated" while it executes, to inform the user on what's going on. 

I've looked at the Progress Bar examples in Archive but I don't understand how to "link" the dialog's text control to the macro execution steps and making it showing the value of the string variable being sent to the output pane in QM.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

If the dialog is used only to show exe output text, instead use function ExeOutputWindow. Then don't need a dialog with a static control.

ExeOutputWindow does the trick!
Will try macro203 also...

Quick Macro is a wonderful software, and your support is first class!
