MsgInfo

[Otto]

Hello Antonio,

Could you provide a msginfo with a bigger “ok” button like in FWH or the MSGYESNO.
The little “OK” is very hard to touch with the finger.

Thanks in advance
Otto

Otto,

Those dialogs are Windows API built-in ones.

If you need a different one, then you have to code a dialogbox yourself. Its quite simple

Antonio, would you be so kind to provide this code.
As msginfo is used often the code should be high standard.

Thanks in advance
Otto

Otto,

MsgInfo() is just a wrapper to Windows API MessageBox() function.

If you want to use a different MessageBox() style in your application, simply design a dialog with the resources editor the way you want it: A SAY, an ICON (or a bitmap) and a BUTTON.

We can't provide a MessageBox() replacement that satisfies everybody wishes Thats the freedom and beauty of FiveWin: you can modify it the way that you want it.

Hello Antonio,

what would be the best way to make the own msginfoBox modal.
Do I have to pass always the calling Window/dialog object?
Thanks in advance
Otto

Code: Select all  Expand view

function MsgInfo1(cText)
   local oDlg

   DEFINE DIALOG oDlg TITLE "Information" ;
      SIZE 200, 100 //COLOR "N/G"
 
     @ 0.6, 4 SAY  cText SIZE 80, 10
   @ 1.6, 6 BUTTON "OK" ACTION oDlg:End() SIZE 30, 20

   ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg CENTERED
   
return nil

Otto,

is it running modal ?

If not, then you may need to supply it the oWnd of its container window.
