Is there a function equivalent to the DOS ALERT ?
Posted: Wed Sep 01, 2010 06:27 PM

Guys:

I'm looking for a function where I can pass a message and an array of options to be displayed to the end user, i.e. Clipper 5.2 ALERT(). For example:

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

 nSel := ALERT("Message to be displayed", {"Option 1", "Option 2", "Option n"}, cColor)

It should return the option that the user selected or in defect 0 for not choosing. If I can set the function color via the cColor argument, it will be great. Any ideas or suggestions ? Thanks.

Just use that function. It works with FWH also.

Maybe You preferring a Visual-Design.
For individual looking Message-Boxes, I use VTitles with Button-Action. That looks much better.
You can use the VTitle-Painter, to create it.
