This message may be created either in the main menu itself or in some of the windows than are opened from the main menu. I can't find the correct syntax for the displaying. Message("StatusInfo",sWarningText) or Message("MAINMENU.StatusInfo",sWarningText) both work OK, if done in the mainmenu, but if done in any child window, with the MAINMENU still visible in the background, both launch an error 1059 'StatusInfo' - unknown element. So how should I refer to the StatusInfo messagefield from the child windows? best regards Ola30WEBDEVen_UShttps://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/56214-wd19-how-display-message-main-menu/read.awpmoderateur@pcsoft.fr (El moderador)webmaster@pcsoft.fr (El webmaster)guestpcsoft.us.windevhttps://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/56214-wd19-how-display-message-main-menu-56222/read.awp3 Feb 2016 13:32:00 ZHi Fabrice I was already experimenting with just an added static field in the lower part of the mainmenu, as it could have ea…https://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/56214-wd19-how-display-message-main-menu-56222/read.awphttps://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/56214-wd19-how-display-message-main-menu-56222/read.awp[WD19] How to display a message in the main menu?guestpcsoft.us.windevhttps://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/56214-wd19-how-display-message-main-menu-56221/read.awp3 Feb 2016 13:17:00 ZHi Ola, the easiest way is to create a local procedure in your main window (DisplayMessage) doing the actual displaying, and …https://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/56214-wd19-how-display-message-main-menu-56221/read.awphttps://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/56214-wd19-how-display-message-main-menu-56221/read.awp[WD19] How to display a message in the main menu?
