hi All,
I have a database tabel which stores all messages specific to my application. I have a Id, Message_text column in it. From the forms , i pass the id and it returns the corresponding text from the tabel which i display in the alert.
My problem is some of my messages are too long. I want them on separate lines. I used chr(10) in the middle of the message text column. But it did not worked.
Any suggestions.....
Regards
Vinayak

Hi,
CHR(10) will not help.
In order to display such message Make an additional Stacked Canvas and Place a Text item on it and instead of using Show_Alert make use of show_view/show_window to display your Stacked Canvas instead of the Alert window.
Also create OK,Cancel,No etc. buttons on your Canvas to give it a look as ALERT window.
HTH

Himanshu

Hi Vamsi,
Thanks for reply.But here you have hardcoded the message text. In my case, the message text is stored in the database table and through a ID i retreive the text.
eg :
get_message(25);
where get_message is a function which I call from Forms 9i and 25 is the ID whose text I want.
Any help!!!!
