Activity Status Class

[#1]

This class can be used to display an activity status window.  It is designed to show progress when stepping through a sequence of time consuming steps:

Example Usage:

// reference to the ActivityStatusClass
include("ActivityStatusClass.jsl");
// list of notification messages for each activity
lst = {
	"Linear Kinetic Model",			
	"Accelerating Kinetic Model",	
	"Decelerating Kinetic Model",	
	"Power Kinetic Model"			
	};
// create an activity status object
status = newObject(ActivityStatusClass(lst));
// do activity 1 ...
status:start();
wait(2);
// do task 2
status:startNextTask();
wait(2);
// do task 3
status:startNextTask();
wait(2);
// do task 4
status:startNextTask();
Wait(2);
// finish the activity status (closes the window) and delete the object
status:finish();
status << delete;

The 'Waits' in this example are simply placeholders where you would perform real tasks within your script.

@David_Burnham , I find this useful but do not get how to use this in practice. Is this 

lst = {
	"Linear Kinetic Model",			
	"Accelerating Kinetic Model",	
	"Decelerating Kinetic Model",	
	"Power Kinetic Model"			
	};

a list of JSL script names? 

Could you please help with a use case scenario? Suppose I have 5 JSL scripts and the first one calls the rest. How to use your ActivityStatusClass.jsl to show progress when the my 5 JSL scripts are running. Thanks

lst is a list of task names.  My example code is based on fitting different types of model using the nonlinear platform but to make the code more readable I replaced the curve fitting with a simple call to Wait, just for illustration purposes.

For your scenario, each Wait would be replaced by a call to one of your scripts.
