Dynamic text on a Modeless Palette?

Hi there,

i was thinking if this is possible? I successfully invoked a floating palette (modeless palette) and placed some placeholder texts on it (see image). Is it possible, if i am selecting a placed object (GDL object), to write the parameters of the object on the palette? For example: number of selections, guids, typeID s etc..

Thanks in advance!

Yes this should be possible. I assume you are using a Static Text Item correct?
Depending on whether you use the C++ or C style Dialog Items, one of the following should work.

// C++ Style DG::StaticText yourTextItem (panelReference, yourTextItemID), yourTextItem.SetText ("New text"); // C Style DGSetItemText (dialogID, yourTextItemID, "New text");

Edit: Minor fix in code example
