Coding, syntax & commands
my problem was that some messages are critical, and I wanted them to be big and red, visible 20 feet away! Messagebox and wait window just were too easy to miss, especially if the screen was panned or dragged
A form has the problem that the script is hard to organize, if the message length is variable
So I can now get the length of the message, line by line, pick a font size, & us a do while to display the message at almost full screen size. Even if not on top, portions of the red message screen still are visible!
I had hoped to use messagebox so I could trap the response, but that wasn't the big issue, getting the visibility was! Flipping the system fonts to non standard & back isn't a big issue, as long as I always reset!
Vlad's stuff is intriguing, though, I may follow up later, as some users are NOT happy with the windows defaults, and would like to see bigger menu's, but it is a hassle to visit sites to show them how to do it. I already have some resizable modules, as well as some font options for users, but they don't control menues & titles well.
