From a grid I call a function to copy the grid to the clipboard, and then paste it into excel. I am wanting to display several messages in order to inform the end-user what is being done. Something like:
Copying Grid data to clipboard… please wait.
Clipboard copy finished…
Opening Excel
Finished …
My code below works – but is displayed AFTER the processes are complete; not in the order of the process. Standard “alert” messages work just fine – but the dhtmlx.message does not.
Also, is there any way for a “message” to be displayed … and not until another is sent is it removed?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

function copyData(){
dhtmlx.message.defPosition=“top”;
dhtmlx.message(“Grid Clipboard copy started… Please wait”);
mygrid.addRow(1,“region_cd,club_name,name,club,m1_fname,customer”,0);
mygrid.setCSVDelimiter(’\t’);
mygrid.gridToClipboard();
dhtmlx.message(“Grid Clipboard copy finished.”);
dhtmlx.message(“Opening Excel…”);
var objExcel = new ActiveXObject (“Excel.Application”);
objExcel.visible = true;
var objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Add;
var objWorksheet = objWorkbook.Worksheets(1);
dhtmlx.message(“Excel paste operations started.”);
objWorksheet.Paste;
dhtmlx.message(“Excel paste operations finished.”);
}
