Found by chance the code
msgOpen "Your message",0,False,False
' If you want to end the message now then
sleep 2000
msgClose
This message routine is great and requires no interaction with the user such as clicking OK button. However I can not find any documentation on this routine except for a product called Aphelian.
Just wondering what the 0,False,False could do or not.
I used so many of these messages I made a subroutine
Sub msgRoutine ("String",integerfortime)
msgOpen String,0,False,False
sleep integerfortime
msgClose
end sub
