Stupid question

[Bundle]

Sorry to ask this as I'm sure it's an easy one for the more exerianced members.
I am trying this software out and all seems to go well but what I want to do is have a dialog box pop up when an operation has finished maybe to even say "Finished" how would I write this?

Hi. Check out these examples in the help file for the Dialog.Message action:

Thanks Corey! If I get those training CD's will they go over this stuff?

[Corey]

Yes, we use message dialogs in there to track various things. Best is to check out the free sample videos first, that'll give you a good idea of what they contain. Here's a few free samples:

And give Dialog.TimedMessage() a try; a nice feature.

If you have ordered the training CD’s you have something to look forward to. I miss those early mornings when I worked through the CD’s. The rest of the family still sleeping; a nice cup of coffee and Corey on the ear. I had to use my earphones otherwise the dogs wanted to take part in the conversation.

Or even Dialog.Message("title", "body");. I use that one all the time to test my stuff.

You are not the only one! (Dialog.Message is “the only” action I can use without the Action Wizard; no, the Debug options too!). Corey told about the API MsgBox; I just wanted to add the timed version as suitable for “a dialog box pop up when an operation has finished”.

BTW; I really hope your Code Viewer is going to reappear from the ashes!

I posted it to the example forums yesterday. Hopefully it will appear early next week. I have not done anyting extra to it, but I did post the project file and a built file for those who may not have AMS6 to build their own. I will probably post the XML parser as well. I need to revisit he code and make sure that it is commented to some extent so it can be posted as a sample project.
