NeatMessage is a Message Box replacement from Laro Group S.R.L..

You don't need to change anything in your program to take immediate advantage of this product. The template makes use of the message hook to directly replace your regular Message() calls.

NeatMessage may replace STOP() and HALT() as well.

 

This template allows you to quickly replace the standard message box, which gives you many new possibilities.

 

Copy & Paste of the message text (Clarion 5.5 and up)
Auto-close feature (you can specify the delay and default answer)
"Don't ask me again" feature (with controlled or user selected answer)
"Silent Mode" feature (For totally disabling the message window without changing your program)
Alignment features (Clarion 5.5, 6.2 9048 and up)
Controllable cosmetics
You can replace the standard message under run-time control.
Message identification for statistical or control purpose.
CleanCloseDown instead of Halt (Clarion 6.2 and up, to avoid some GPFs on halting multi-dll systems)
If you use Clarion 5.x, it eliminates many problems with Windows XP and the infamous Pushscope/Popscope error.
You can alter or add functionality to the message window, as is all source code.
Combined with the "FullRecord" template, you can save the messages presented to your users, and their answers, for auditing purposes.

 

The Message() function syntax is exactly the same as Clarion's own. All the extended features are implemented using special variables, so you can activate or deactivate the template without breaking your program. You can even remove the template and recompile without errors (as long as you don't delete the variables from your DCT).
