Antonio,

fwh711 and fwh712, alert("aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa")
will display a unmoveable scroll bar

Best Regards!

Shuming,

Thats because Alert() uses a disabled multiline GET. You can modify function Alert() source code to allow user input for the multiline GET.

Better use MsgInfo(), or other Msg... functions

You can simply remove WHEN .F. clauses from alert.prg. There are already READONLY clauses that are enough the get the scrollbar working.

Enrico,

Its a good solution but then it will accept the user focus

Though its not a big problem :-)
