Message control #269

Closed shaneporter closed 6 years ago

shaneporter commented 7 years ago

For long running functions, it would be useful to output messages to a 'Message control', to inform a user of what's happening.

The notebook author will have a function to output a message, with parameters for the text to output, as well as the variable associated with the message (this will link it to an individual message control).

I was wondering about designer options for 'max message count', or 'single or multiple message output', but I think it would be better to default to multiple messages that scroll (keeping the last in view), and give the notebook author functions to clear the output.
