====== Send_Info subroutine ======


 
==== Description ====
 
The Send_Info subroutine sets the text for the system receiver.   If no receiver has been set, the subroutine displays a line of text in the OpenInsight System Monitor.
 
==== Syntax ====
 
**Send_Info**(//text//)
 
==== Parameters ====
 
The Send_Info subroutine has the following parameter:

^Parameter^Description^
|//Text//|The text to display in the status line or System Monitor.|


 
==== See Also ====
 
[[statusline|STATUSLINE property]], [[setdebugger|SetDebugger("SPY")]]


==== Remarks ====

While the system receiver is often whichever control has been set to be the STATUSLINE for a form, it is the system receiver which currently has focus in which the message is displayed. This function is particularly useful for debugging programs; it can be used to display information in the System Monitor without interrupting processing (like the debugger and messages do).  In conjunction with [[setdebugger|SetDebugger("SPY")]], you can suppress or display event information on the System Monitor.

 
==== Example ====
 
<code>
* example 1: clear status line (if there is a status line)
Send_Info(" ")

* example 2: display a debugging message in the System Monitor
  (if there is no status line) */
if assigned(x) then
  Send_Info("Value of x is ": quote(x))
end else
  Send_Info("Value of x is not assigned")
end
