acet-util-status boxes size

Anonymous
Not applicable

I was attempting to make a function that takes input lines and gives a certain text output. I was planning on using the acet-util-status box, however, it seems to be limited to 3 lines or so. Is there any way to expand the status box size? I could use a message box with acet-util-message, but then I cannot continue editing the selection and letting it automatically update. Is there any other solution, any other response box that doesn't require input from the user? 

Thanks in advance,

David

Probably not unless the source code for "acetutil.arx" is out there somewhere.

Does this help any?

Yeah, my research showed as much. Its too bad, I did like the function of the status box. Very slick. Thanks anyway.

Not sure if this will help, but DOSLIB includes a function to create a modeless dialog that can display an HTML file.

Thanks! I'll look into that. I might be able to make that work. Admittedly, its a fairly unimportant little program, so its not too big of an issue.
