Showing a value back in Igor Pro

ValDisplay is read-only, and its value can be an expression that re-evaluates.

Function AddReadouts()
    ValDisplay countDisp, pos={16, 310}, size={180, 16}
    ValDisplay countDisp, title="Points", value=#"root:Settings:gCount"

    ValDisplay progDisp, pos={16, 332}, size={180, 16}, title="Done"
    ValDisplay progDisp, limits={0, 100, 0}, barmisc={0, 40}
    ValDisplay progDisp, value=#"root:Settings:gProgress"

    TitleBox statusBox, pos={16, 354}, size={280, 16}, frame=0
    TitleBox statusBox, variable=root:Settings:gLastFile
End

How it works

1. value=#\"expr\" re-reads the expression whenever the panel updates.
2. limits plus barmisc turns it into a small bar gauge.
3. TitleBox does the same job for text.
