Reporting Information to the User
You use the status and alert display functions to report information to the user.
The GXReportStatus function displays information that does not require user feedback, such as messages that monitor the current state of the document being printed. Typical status information text strings include "2 pages remaining to print" and "Starting job."
The GXAlertTheUser function displays information to the user in a printing alert box. The user must repond to the printing alert box. Typical printing alert text strings include "Printer is out of paper" and "Printer requires attention: paper jam."
The GXGetPrintingAlert function displays a printing alert box that is defined in a printing alert ('plrt') resource.
The GXPrintingAlert function builds a printing alert box from the supplied parameters and displays it on the user's screen.
