ShowMessage limitations?

Post by bigGuitar »

So there must be many limitations as to where the ShowMessage procedure can be used.
Does anyone know what the limitations are?

When I test it under Simulated Runs, the profile gets stuck and the overall syncback pro application interface becomes funky and corrupt, and I have to kill the syncbackpro application and restart...

For some reason on my system, the dialog box seems to be forced into a size of 0 x 0, essentially rendering it invisible.
Pressing Alt-Spacebar provides a move-close option to appear, but there is no simple way to resize the box...

I had better luck importing user32 for MessageBox, however for Pascal, instead of using the format mentioned in the documentation, you need to define the text and caption variables as 'AnsiString' instead of string, otherwise only the first character of the string will display... perhaps an encoding thing, at least this is required for proper performance on my system.

Thank you, the SBSystem version of ShowMessage from the beta 10.2.58.0 release has worked much better for me.
