Hi Thirukumaran,

If you want to make it more automatic, you can use the *view command to adjust the position as needed and then take a screen capture, for example, without stopping the script.

Here is the command information in case you need it: https://help.altair.com/hwdesktop/hwd/topics/reference/hm/_view.htm

I hope this helps you!

Hello,

one colleague of mine proposed me the following procedure couple of weeks ago:

proc stopScript {message} {
# Create and arrange the dialog contents.
   toplevel .msg
   wm geometry  .msg 300x150
   label  .msg.l  -text $message
   button .msg.ok -text Proceed -default active -command {destroy .msg}
   pack .msg.ok -side bottom -fill x
  pack .msg.l  -expand 1    -fill both
}

puts "start doing your thing"

stopScript "Do task A ...";tkwait window .msg

puts "Task A done ......."

stopScript "Do task B ....";tkwait window .msg

puts "Task B done ......."

stopScript "Do task C ....";tkwait window .msg

puts "Task C done ......."

Can you please test it?

Best Regards,

Michael
