Modeless expandable message box (or form), any?

I wonder if it possible to create modeless expandable message box (or floating form) in Inventor

(preferrably with no usage of 3rd-part libraries).

 

The desired application of this message box (form) is monitoring of Check results in substitute for buggy IDC add-in (see https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-customization/automatic-check-of-inventor-design-perspective... for more details).

 

I.e. there are a collection of our corporate "check-it" iLogic rules which are supposed to be run automatically for each active document by set of triggers (after open, before close and if some button is pressed). Those rules compute some arguments that should be always visible for user in two styles: summary (just Fail or Pass if none is fail) and detailed view (complete list of checks with comment why  each particular considered pass or fail).

For I-logic I think this is not possible on an easy way.

for VBA and Vb.net.

Create your own message box and let expand it as needed.

There is probably a misunderstanding.

I mean I need such a control that exist in two different views small and detailed.

You know it's often looks like window changes its vertical size after pressing button "Show Details" (or "Hide Details").

Are you using Inv 2019? iLogic has a built in window in 2019.

If I've helped you, please help me by supporting this idea.

No. I need solution for older Inventor version.

Here is a sample of desirable control from Autodesk Vault (the initial message is as brief as possible, but user can browse/sort/filter/print content of the result table after pressing "Details" button):

@Maxim-CADman77,

 

Hoping that Dockable window may be helpful in this situation. For more details on dockable window, go through below blog link.
