Re: Tag or message to GUI indicator

[Jacob Gilbert]

Hi Marcin

You can use the QT Edit Box Message block to display the contents of a message on a GR GUI, there are some limitations but it might fit your need. 

Use the block with string type input, not in pair mode, not in static mode. You can publish a message consisting of just a PMT string and that string will show up in the box. It's not perfect, and the user can modify the contents of the box but might work for you.

Hello,

May I ask what is the best way to visualize tags or messages in GR GUI?

For example: there is a head block with reset function that each time it has processed specified number of samples sends tag or message "FINISHED".

I am looking for a way this tag or message would affect a variable or some GUI element. Dumping tags or messages to terminal via debug block is quite neat , but is there any possibility to show all information in GUI (in a form of simple indicator: True/False or value)?.

I didn't wanted to employ any streams or sources triggered by tag or message to reduce resources utilization.

Kind regards,
