Title: Lisp Alert Box Text Color?
Post by: MSTG007 on November 21, 2017, 12:37:20 PM

the typical lisp alert box text. Can that be different colors and boldness?

Someone does not like my alerts, saying that do not pop out enough. ideas?

You could use the popup (http://lee-mac.com/popup.html) method of the Shell object.

Or you could create your own DCL dialog and either use an image tile populated with text, or text with fixed_width_font = true.

I'm confused, the alert window is set to always on top. You cannot get anymore "pop out enough".

For instance, they were wanting the "OPEN ALL Sheets" to be bold red. so the user would take note.

Something along those lines...

Code: [Select]

(ALERT "OPEN ALL Sheets.\n\n\nAdd Layouts into SheetSet Manager.\n\n\nSheetSet Manager \ Rename and Renumber Sheets.\n\n\nExpress Tools \ File Tools \ Save All Drawings.")

That can easily be done in standard DCL with slides. Check out an oldie but goodie of a website

Use AutoCAD's acet-ui-message function...

(acet-ui-message "MESSAGE" "TITLE" 48)
(acet-ui-message "MESSAGE" "TITLE" 16)
(acet-ui-message "MESSAGE" "TITLE" 32)
(acet-ui-message "MESSAGE" "TITLE" 52)

etc...
