Size of Message window

unclejoe · Post by **unclejoe** » Wed Jan 22, 2003 8:19 pm

Having moved to 7.15 from 6.x, I notice that the message window is displayed with scroll bars. I was told to use ResizeWindow. This does put the scrollbars to the top left of the window so that I can see the message, but no matter what size I try, there are still scroll bars shown which must be manipulated for me to see the OK button at the bottom of the window. Is there any way to turn off the scroll bar feature so I can see the entire window as I could in 6.x?

Maybe VBScript would meet your requirements (MsgBox)
Have a look a sample scripts at the script (download) area.

Sorry for the delay in getting back. I had some serious system problems and was unable to play around with this. I have created a maro to issue a Displaymessage. which does the job. However I am having a problem passing the message to this macro from my calling macro. I am obviosly missing something. An example of parameter passing (both calling and caller side) would be helpful

Ah! Thank you Lumumba.
The part of the parameter passing I missed was wrapping the parameter variable in the called macro with %'s:oops:. My resulting msgbox macro now looks exactly what I used to get in the previous release for message., no scroll bars and visable OK button:) . Thanks for your help. For the record here is my final version.
i
VBSTART
Sub DisplayMessage (msg,title)
MsgBox msg,0,title
End Sub
VBEND
VBRun>DisplayMessage,%message%,Macro Scheduler Message
