Setting MessageBox caption

[andrewjfox]

Hi,

I found an old post regarding setting the MessageBox caption to something other than "DAQFactory", but with no replies. "Setting Messagebox or EntryDialog titles" posted June 2009

Is it possible to set the caption to something else, preferably programmatically so it can be context sensitive, but a static caption would be ok.

No, its fixed by the system and the only way to eliminate it is by using the OEM version of DAQFactory. However, you could always just use a popup for a page. Popup's display the page name in the top bar.

There's an OEM version!!

Please tell me where I might find more information. Is this an off-the-shelf version (are you referring to 'developer' package, or an Azeotech in-house build for specific application?

Hi,

A query on using popups versus MessageBox.

The message box provides a nice mechanism of waiting for user response

ie Response = System.MessageBox("Prompt")

and can be run anywhere without locking up DF

I have tried with popups to do the same, but to no avail

eg calling following sequence as a function

strReply = "None" // strReply is defined at startup as global

OpenPopup

wait for strReply != "None"

return strReply

This locks up DF, presumably because the popup is running in the same thread so is never processed?

I have also tried to get around this by opening popup in different thread

eg

strReply = "None"

beginseq(another sequence that just opens popup)

wait for strReply != "None"

return strReply

This also locks up DF

Any insights that might help create a popup that can be used as a function with a return value?

OEM version: basically the same as Developer, but the runtimes it creates are pretty much completely debranded. This includes removal of the splash, DAQFactory at the top window, etc. Please contact us direct for more info.

As for popups, there is that issue and no you can't do it the way you are doing it. You'd have to use a callback (done using execute()), which, unfortunately, breaks the flow of your application a little.
