* MTYPE$ details:
*
* there are six base types, B (buttons), R (response), U (up), and D (down),
* T (timed), and G (gauge)
*
* the button type has several pre-defined button sets which are localized
* using entries from the SYSTEM_RESOURCES record in the SYSENV table; for
* non-standard labels, the buttons can be specified in a comma-delimited
* list, like "B&One,&Two,&Three" (where the & specifies the accelerator)
*
* B Type Description
* ------ --------------------
* BO OK
* BOC OK/Cancel
* BNY Yes/No
* BNYC Yes/No/Cancel
* BRC Retry/Cancel
* BAR Abort/Retry
* BARI Abort/Retry/Ignore
* B{list} User-defined buttons
*
* the response type displays an edit field and OK and Cancel buttons;
* the optional sub-types are C (upper-case only) and E (escape or
* cancel button returns escape character instead of default response);
* for example, the following types are valid: "R", "RC", "RE", "RCE"
*
* for B and R types, the type can be preceded with an N to specify that
* the default value for the message is to be returned without the message
* being displayed; this is one way to change messages from interactive
* to non-interactive for batch processes; for example, instead of "BARI",
* pass "NBARI" (meaning don't display the abort/retry/ignore message)
*
* to display a message while processing, use the "U" type:
*
* Def = ""
* Def<MTEXT$> = "Processing..."
* Def<MTYPE$> = "U"
* MsgUp = Msg(@window, Def) ;* display the processing message
* ...
* Msg(@window, MsgUp) ;* take down the processing message
*
* to display a message for a specific length of time, use the "T" type:
*
* Def = ""
* Def<MTEXT$> = "Waiting..."
* Def<MTYPE$> = "T2" ;* 2-second message
* Msg(@window, Def)
*
* the optional sub-type for T type is A (asynchronous), which displays
* the message and returns (allowing processing to continue) and takes
* the message down after the specified period of time; since this relies
* on a timer event, your event code must either complete within the
* specified period of time or you must regularly use Yield() to allow
* the processing of posted events (like the timer):
*
* Def = ""
* Def<MTYPE$> = "TA5" ;* 5-second splash-screen
* Msg(@window, Def, "SPLASHSCREEN")
* loop
* Done = AppLogonProcessing()
* Yield()
* until Done
* repeat
*
* to display a gauge (percent bar), use the "G" type; sub-types are C (show
* cancel button) and Y (yield on each cycle):
*
* Def = ""
* Def<MCAPTION$> = "Processing Orders..."
* Def<MTYPE$ > = "GC"
* Def<MEXTENT$ > = OrderCnt
* MsgUp = Msg(@window, Def)
* for Order = 1 to OrderCnt
* gosub ProcessOrder
* * update the gauge and check if cancel was pressed
* while Msg(@window, MsgUp, Order, MSGINSTUPDATE$)
* next Order
* Msg(@window, MsgUp) ;* take down the gauge
* MMODAL$ detail:
*
* Code Modality Description
* ----------- ----------- -----------------------------
* W Window only the parent is disabled
* A (default) Application all OI windows are disabled
* S System all applications are disabled
* MICON$ detail:
*
* Code Icon
* ---- ---------------
* null None
* * Asterisk (Info)
* ? Question
* ! Exclaim (Warning)
* H Halt (Stop sign)
* B User-specified bitmap (specified in MBITMAP$ field)
* MLITERAL$ details (applies only to response type messages):
*
* if MLITERAL$ is true, the Msg() function assumes that the default value is
* the name of a function which returns the default value for the message;
* for example, if you wrote a function called CURRENTUSER which returned
* the user name of the current user, you could specify CURRENTUSER as the
* default value (MDEFINPUT$) and set MLITERAL$ to true, so that the current
* user name would be the default value for the message; parameters are
* passed to the specified function depending on the number of parameters
* that are supported by the function:
*
* # Params Values Passed
* --------- --------------
* 0 None
* 1 MsgKey
* 2 or more MsgKey, MsgDef
* MHELP$ details:
*
* Type Description Specifier
* ---- ------------- -----------------
* Q QuickHelp (AppNote) Name of AppNote
* M Message Name of Message
* H WinHelp HelpFile,HelpID
* S Stored Procedure ProcName[,Param1]
*
* Note: Specify the AppNote, Message, HelpFile, or ProcName as it appears
* in the repository outliner. For example, the OINSIGHT.HLP file is
* registered as OINSIGHT, so specify the HelpFile as "OINSIGHT" (look
* in the outline under "General", "Windows Components", "Help Files")
*
* Text defaults to "&Help" or a localized equivalent
* Replaceable message parameters:
*
* Msg(@window, "Hello, %1%, how are you %2%?", "", "", @username: @fm: "today")
