Question on 'MSG>'

Visitor · Post by **Visitor** » Tue Sep 21, 2004 1:13 pm

Hi,
I was just wondering if it was possible to start the Msg box somewhere else on screen (as opposed to centered)?

I sometime use the Msg box as a way to display a counter (e.g. Number of time a macro has been looping), but having it in the center of the screen gets in the way.
Of course, I could just set Wait> with enough time for me to drag it elsewhere (thats what I do at the moment), but I was wondering if there wouldn't be a more elegant way to do so.

Thanks.

You could use Dialog to make a message box. That will allow you to designate the position. But it will be a Modal Message, will need a response to make it go away.

If using a non-modal message box you can reposition it like this:

Message>Hello World
MoveWindow>Macro Scheduler Message,10,10
..
.. bla bla
..

Nice! Thanks

I was thinking along those lines, but I am still unfamiliar with many commands. Namely MoveWindows
