I believe that most of Origin 6.1's tools were created with Dialog Builder, in which case dialog.status(DLLName,DialogName) should work. (See Chapter 2.3 of your OriginPro Manual.) Unfortunately, I don't know how to find DLLName or DialogName for dialogs created by someone else (i.e., OriginLab). Sounds like a question for OriginLab's technical support team. (tech@originlab.com)
