This would be a big help to have callsigns color coded, would it also be
possible to code in filters where some messages are not shown such as other on
going qso`s that are not necessary to view and even stations that have been
worked B4. This would de-clutter busy screens that have so many decodes you
cannot even view them all. I sometimes feel this is why some stations are a
sequence or two late answering callsthey do not see them they have scrolled out
of view. These could be an option only if the operator wanted to
activate.Thanks for your consideration73 wa4mit Morris

Hi Bill,
Thank you for a link to your message aggregator. I will take a closer look at
it tonight, it looks like it includes a useful
piece of code for working with the wsjt-x messages.
I included the Delphi project only as a testing tool for the new feature in
wsjt-x, so please ignore it if it is incomplete.
My C++ code does not change the caret position, the callsign is highlighted
using a temporary cursor object.
