Display a simple message on my Control Page.

I would like to display a simple message on my Control Page as a result of an Action.
So far i could not get it done.

Can anybody give me a suggestion how to do it in a simple way?

Re: Display a simple message on my Control Page.

I think I understand what you want to do:

1. Have your source action add your desired message to a variable and then display the variable value on your control page.

2. On the control page, have an action that is triggered when you tap on the message, where the action sets the value of the variable to null.

I do something similar to remind me to put out the garbage (I think I stole the idea from DrLove.)

Create a text field on the control page and assign a variable to it, so it shows the (string) contents of that variable.

Have the action set the value of the variable.

Thx Dave and Joe. I will give both suggestions a try.
The idea to remind to put out the garbage is also something i can use .

One question for Joe.

Actually, just a control that shows a variable value. Hit the + in the top left to add a control, then change the "Display:" pop-up in the bottom left to "Variable Value". Then change it to "As text:".
