M117 Show messages when printing from OctoPrint / USB Serial

[dokkio-martin]

The MKS LVGL EXTUI interface does not have any way to show M117 messages on the main display ( tool/settings/printing ) when the file being printed is coming from the USB port via USB Serial. ( i.e. Octoprint )

I have the nozzle temperature and heated bed temperature showing in the main display.

Is there a way in the MKS LVGL interface to have it either switch to the menu screen that is normally shown during an SD card print, or a way to print M117 messages being sent to the printer on this menu screen?

@dokkio-martin That's not that easy to do in the way the LVGL_UI is build, and in the way marlin send's message to screen's :)

well I just dug into the code and it seems that it's listening on the serial port for a message... the m117 message is printed clearly there as an output from G-Code... exactly the same way the temperature is

I just got my Sapphire running via Octoprint and spotted this issue too. Would be great if there was a way to display the status screen when an M117 is issued.
