Pop Up Messages

Hello!

Are there any ways to extract the message inside a pop up message box? 

Thanks

    If the "pop up message box" is a dialog box, then you can use dboxHandle->dboxText to get it. Whether you can do this or not probably depends on whether the dialog box is modal or modeless though. For modal dialog boxes, the handle is destroyed when the dialog box is OK'd.

    Thank you for the fast reply!

    1) Is it possible to use hiEnqueueCmd to access information from modal dialog boxes?
    2) How do I use dboxHandle->dboxText? I tried using it directly and only get unbound variable (or does it have something to do with the box being modal?).

    Thank you very much

    It seems that whilst you can use hiEnqueueCmd to get info from the dboxHandle if you enqueue before the dialog box is displayed, modal dialog boxes do not store the dboxText on the object (probably because there would normally be no way to retrieve it, because the modal box is blocking everything). To answer your second question, it only works with modeless boxes.
