How to update the Cue/Status Bar of NX using NXOpen?

How to update the Cue/Status Bar of NX using NXOpen?

Hello Friends,

Can someone let me know if it is possible to update the cue/status bar of NX with some custom message using NXOpen?

RE: How to update the Cue/Status Bar of NX using NXOpen?

There are wrapper methods for placing a message on the prompt line and on the status line.

I use

Option Strict Off
Imports System
Imports NXOpen
Imports NXOpenUI
Imports NXOpen.UF

Module project1
Dim s As Session = Session.GetSession()
Dim ufs As UFSession = UFSession.GetUFSession()
Dim ui As UI = UI.GetUI()
Dim lw As ListingWindow = s.ListingWindow
Dim wp As Part = s.Parts.Work

then anywhere in the program the commands are

ufs.Ui.SetPrompt("Message for prompt line")
ufs.Ui.SetStatus("Message for status line")

Remember that many ui commands allow you to write messages to the prompt line.

Hope this helps.
