status bar info from other windows
|
How would you go about getting a variable from another window to show up on your main window's status bar?

If it's a plain one-value or stringlist variable (ie, Var = "test" or Var = "test|test"), then you can use the @windowname.variablename syntax.

You don't need to send it, the main window can access it directly using the syntax above.
Using the Settings Editor
1)with the main window selected, click the Settings button
2)in the Settings Editor, click the arrow next to the New button and select Status Bar or Status Line (whichever it is)
3)in the statusbar editor that appears, in the one-line textbox (I think the label says "Line:") type in @windowname.rer (windowname is the actual name of your other window)
4)close the Settings Editor, and click in the main window to refresh the window
Using the command-line
1)with the cursor in the main window's command-line, type the following:
#status {@windowname.rer}
2)change the windowname to the actual name of your other window
3)press enter (unlike with the settings editor, the results should appear immediately) |
