Displaying a Pop-Up Panel During Execution
You can cause a panel to pop up when a UserObject or UserFunction
executes in a program. To display a pop-up panel, select
Show Panel on
Execute
under Properties in the object menu. To keep the panel on
screen until the operator is ready to proceed, add a
Confirm (OK) object.
Otherwise, the panel disappears when the
UserObject or UserFunction
is done executing.
To keep a pop-up panel displayed during multiple calls to a
UserFunction,
use the
ShowPanel() and HidePanel() functions. For example, you may
want to keep the pop-up panel displayed as a status panel while the program
executes. See the next section for an example.
