Syntax

Use Windows.pkg
Send Info_Box {sMessage} [ {sCaption} ]

Where:

  • {sMessage}: A string containing the information message to be shown. A carriage-return/linefeed can be placed in the message string by the inclusion of \n in the text.

  • {sCaption}: This parameter is optional. If passed, it specifies the content of the caption bar. If {sCaption} is not passed, the caption bar will display the string "Information".

What It Does

Info_Box is used to pop up a modal information message box. The message string {sMessage} is displayed in a message box dialog along with the Information icon and a single OK button.

Examples

Example 1

Send Info_Box "The update has successfully completed"

In the above example, the information dialog's caption bar will read "Information".

Example 2

Send Info_Box ("Printer is On line.\n" + "Current Port is " * sPortName) "Printer Status"

In the above example, a string expression is used to build the message text. The text will be broken over two lines. The info box will display "Printer Status" in its caption bar.

Notes

If the user types Ctrl+C in the info box, the text of the message is copied to the clipboard.
