IDL Reference Guide: iTools Object Classes

IDLitIMessaging::ProbeStatusMessage

The IDLitIMessaging::ProbeStatusMessage procedure method is used to display a status message to the user, which is displayed in a data-specific region of the user interface. Unlike other messages that require immediate acknowledgement by the user, a status message is passive and no response is needed.

The actual method used to display the value to the user depends on the user interface in use. In a standard iTool included with IDL, this status message is displayed in the lower right corner of the iTool window.
