Question about textbox showing each process

[aa2zz6]

Greetings, I was wondering if it was possible to code a text box which could display each output done or process completed by the program. Kinda like a log sheet per say but built in the GUI. I googled this idea a few different ways and it didn't return any results. If anyone has any idea please feel free to share. Picture below shows a tab with Log and that's where everything will be recorded.

    GUICtrlSetData($Log,$LogMessage)

While 1     
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg

            Exit

    EndSwitch

Func FirstInstallation()

EndFunc

Func SecondInstallation()
    ;Do something
EndFunc

I haven't tested this but it should work if you change the processes in the 2 functions.

Thanks for the reply! I had to switch the variable around in order for it to write out. I'll post the code below.

I also included a  _NowTime() to show when the process was completed.

#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
GUICreate("Form3", 413, 298, 303, 219)
$log = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 56, 40, 185, 89, BitOR($ES_AUTOVSCROLL,$ES_WANTRETURN,$WS_VSCROLL))
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

Global $LogMessage
;place the processes you want installed in here
FirstInstallation()
$LogMessage = "First Installation is done."
GUICtrlSetData($log,$LogMessage)

SecondInstallation()
$LogMessage = _NowTime() & $LogMessage & @CRLF & "Second Installation is done."
GUICtrlSetData($Log, $LogMessage)
;end placing the processes you want installed in here

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func FirstInstallation()
    ShellExecute("C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes Anti-Malware\mbam.exe")
EndFunc   ;==>FirstInstallation

Func SecondInstallation()
    ;Process goes here
EndFunc   ;==>SecondInstallation

My problem with adding a _NowTime() is that the time is together on one line rather than with in the system message. I figured adding it in the front of the $LogMessage would work but it won't.

GUICreate("Form3", 413, 298, 303, 219)
$Log = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 56, 40, 250, 89, BitOR($ES_AUTOVSCROLL,$ES_WANTRETURN,$WS_VSCROLL))
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

Global $LogMessage
;place the processes you want installed in here
FirstInstallation()
$LogMessage = _NowTime() & $LogMessage & @CRLF & " First Installation is done."
GUICtrlSetData($Log,$LogMessage)

SecondInstallation()
$LogMessage = _NowTime() & $LogMessage & @CRLF & " Second Installation is done."
GUICtrlSetData($Log, $LogMessage)
;end placing the processes you want installed in here

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func FirstInstallation()
    ShellExecute("C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes Anti-Malware\mbam.exe")
EndFunc   ;==>FirstInstallation

Func SecondInstallation()
    ShellExecute("C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes Anti-Malware\mbam.exe")
EndFunc   ;==>SecondInstallation

$LogMessage will start as a single line item and after every new installation it will add a new line. Try this:

Global $LogMessage
;place the processes you want installed in here
FirstInstallation()
$LogMessage = $LogMessage & @CRLF & _NowTime() & " First Installation is done."
GUICtrlSetData($Log,$LogMessage)

SecondInstallation()
$LogMessage = $LogMessage & @CRLF & _NowTime() & " Second Installation is done."
GUICtrlSetData($Log, $LogMessage)
;end placing the processes you want installed in here
