MessageModal problem

[HPROS]

I am currently on 7.3.10.5 of MacroScheduler, and have noticed that when I now use messagemodal, it wraps the test (it has a fixed number of columns). I can define the Message Box Height & Width and that creates the correct size box, however the text is still squeezed into this small fixed box with an elevator bar so you can see it all. I had several earlier scripts that ran "fine" on a few releases of MacroScheduler ago and no longer do. Here is one that used to work, but now wraps:

Here is my example:

let>ver=Version 2002.11222004.0910
Let>MSG_HEIGHT=220
Let>MSG_WIDTH=625
Let>mymsg0= C C B A - T O T A L S A U T O M A T I O N T O O L %CRLF%%CRLF% %ver% %CRLF%%CRLF% Copyright - 2004 - Hughes Professional Services LLC %CRLF%%CRLF%%CRLF% Select "OK" to Continue...
MessageModal>mymsg0

Hi HPROS,

Same issue.
Try to resize your message window with your mouse by moving the right bottom corner. Go to a minimum and back to maximum and observe the appearance of the OK button. Funny to see what’s happens, but work for support of MS.

Will have to look at why the objects aren't resizing properly. I'm sure this hasn't always been the case!

However, a custom dialog would be better for your needs than a message box. You can make it quite fancy with a logo, etc etc. Here's something to get you started:

Dialog>dlgWelcome
Caption=CCBA - TOTALS AUTOMATION TOOL
Top=121
Width=306
Left=77
Height=141
Label=C C B A - T O T A L S A U T O M A T I O N T O O L,29,8
Label=Copyright - 2004 - Hughes Professional Services LLC,28,32
Label=Select "OK" to Continue...,90,56
Button=OK,112,80,75,25,2
EndDialog>dlgWelcome
Show>dlgWelcome,r

Thank you all for looking at my issue, I appreciate your efforts. As I mentioned, it used to work fine, however one of the releases changed that. I know I can attack it different ways, but I was just curious, and couldn't figure it out. I actually prefer the solution/alternative offered by Support. That is far better than what I was doing anyway. - Thanks!

Hello,

Does anyone know if there is an easy way to centre a dialog box. Eg My macro runs on several different screen sizes & I would like to have the dialog box centred.
