LiveMeasure
Measure and show edges length, segments length and faces area in real time. Work with Splines, Editable_Poly and Editable_mesh objects and Edit_Poly modifier.
-- In Polygon/Element sub-object level will show the selected faces area in generic units only.
-- In Edge/Border sub-object level will show the length of selected edges in user defined units.
-- In vertex sub-object level, when vertex is move will show the length of edges that is common for the selected vertex.
-- If top sub-object level is active will show the dimension of the selected object.
The edge/segment length and face area will update when the edges/segments/faces are scaled or when the vertex is moved.
In top left corner of the viewport will be shown the total face area or total edge length.
Thanks to kilad now the script work with max2012 and up(download LiveMeasureMAX2012.ms)
Install: drag-n-drop the LiveMeasure_v1.ms in 3ds max. Go to Customize-Customize User Interface-"miauu" caegory. Assignt to a hotkey. The script work as a toggle - press the hotkey to start, press again to stop the script.

I tried the script "Measure
I tried the script "Measure and Select" but the numbers don't change in real time I have to press show length everytime.
So I found this one:
"Live measure" but can u make it such that the number stay. In other words I want the numbers to stay on which every edge I choose whether the egde/s are selected or not. Be able to hide and unhide the number on edge/s.
I installed script and make
OK. I reinstall script, and now is all ok. Thanks.
This message shows that there
This message shows that there are no selected objects, polygons, verts, edges etc. So, you can see that the script is active and if you don't need it you can turn it off.
But why the script starts with 3ds max? DId you place it in scripts\startup folder?

But when 3dsmax is started - I see in active view port - "Nothing to display ! Go to Edge or Polygon sub-object level !". And then - if check and uncheck of script's button - warning is disappears.
