Does the PanelDue support M117 command to display a message. I'm trying to display some informational message using M117 command and do not see any output on PanelDue or DWC. The only place where I can see something is when I type the command in g-code console in DWC. Then it is shown in the console output. If I try to do the same using telnet connection there is no display.

Reality is in fact virtual.

I am working on a project to interface a RepRap Full Graphics display to the Duet and have been going through the code for the PanelDue. The PanelDue, as far as I can tell, based on the version of code I got (which should be the latest - from GitHub), does not support the M117 command. I had to add it into my project. Now he might be getting the message via a different method, but I couldn't find anything.

M117 isn't working on either PanelDue or in DWC at present. I intend to fix this next week.

M117 already works on DWC (on 1.13 beta) - from the console and from a macro

Strange, when I tested it yesterday, it didn't work for me.

~~These messages are displayed for approximately 3 seconds and then disappear. I think they shall be acknowledged instead of self-closing.~~ These kind of windows messages is recent in DWC.

[edit] Warning: WRONG - the message sent by M117 wait aknowledgement and shall be manually closed, on the contrary of other messages.

While you are in this code, I was wondering if you could tell me if there is a command to remove the message? Sending M117 alone produces an error saying a string was expected but not seen.
