Line break in the dialog box The CR string (Carriage Return) can be used to force a break to the next line. For example:
InfoWithTimeout(500, "The form XXX was modified." + CR + "This form will be saved.")
is equivalent to:
InfoWithTimeout(500, "The form XXX was modified.", "This form will be saved.")
You also have the ability to use the syntax of multiline strings. For example:
InfoWithTimeout(500,
[
The XXX form has been modified.
This form will be saved.
])
- Timers (TimerSys) are not stopped when this function is called.
- Windows events are not stopped when this function is called.
- The text of the buttons is displayed in the system language.
- Equivalence: InfoWithTimeout is equivalent to Info used with DelayBeforeClosing:
The following code:
InfoWithTimeout(1000, "Form modified")
is equivalent to:
DelayBeforeClosing(1000)
Info("Form modified")
