Message Box bewilderment!
Still green, still learning. Now I am on Message Boxes. I think I have them petty well figured out, except for formatting. I could not find very much on the actual formatting, except for the following:
VBA Code:
With cFmsgBox
.Title = "Message Box supporting formatted text. Example 1"
.Msg = "This is the first " & _
.b("Test ") & "message spanning over several lines and paragraphs. The default margins, spaces, and font size had been used. " & _
"No need to say that the form width had been adjusted manually in order to have an optimum appearance." & _
.Lf & _
.Lf & "The formats " & _
.b("bold") & ", " & _
.u("underline") & ", and " & _
.i("italic ") & "and may be combined with any of the colours " & _
.b(.i(.u(.red("red")))) & ", " & _
.b(.i(.u(.blue("blue")))) & ", and " & _
.b(.i(.u(.green("green")))) & "." & _
.Lf & .Lf & _
"5 different links may be included in the message text, either in the full form like " & _
.link("[URL='http://www.google.com']www.google.com[/URL]") & " or with a friendly name like " & .link("[URL='http://www.google.com']www.google.com[/URL]", "google.com") & ", which masks the url behind it." & _
.Lf & _
.Lf & _
"Also it shows 2 of the 6 possible reply buttons and that they may contain any text. Since the number of lines is maximized to 3 their width will be adjusted " & _
"automatically - but will remain the same for all buttons. The string returned by the display call is identical with the string of the clicked reply button."
.Reply1 = "Click this reply to continue with the next example"
.Reply2 = "Click this reply to finish with the Message Box solution's features"
.Dsply 318
If .Reply = .Reply1 Then Example2
End With
The thing that I don’t understand about it is how to use the “ .?? (.Lf, .b.)” in this example. If I could figure that out, my problems would be over, and I would have this whole thing about formatting Message Boxes under control. In that example, he petty much has all the bases covered. I did not see any way to get in contact with the guy that put that out there, so I hit a dead end. Obviously I need help.
