Keep ToolTip Alive during script

[zuladabef]

Is there a way to keep the ToolTip alive during the execution of a script, instead of having the ToolTip only active during a sleep?  So that ToolTip can act as a way to return info.

Example:

Tooltip("Script Has Begun" & @CRLF)
_Func1()
_Func1()

Func _Func1()
    ;~ Do Stuff
    Tooltip(& "Func1 completed successfully" & @CRLF)
EndFunc

Func _Func2()
    ;~ Do Stuff
    Tooltip(& "Func2 completed successfully" & @CRLF)
EndFunc

In case you miss it, you need the code Melba23 posted, it works great doing what I think you want.

I see.  So the only way to do it, is to keep the script within a While loop?

that's a preferred method. best method to intercept all the messages you need to handle. I would do it this way as well.

The tooltip should stay up as long as the script is running, or until you use ToolTip("").

A Tooltip will appear until the script terminates or ToolTip("") is called.
