Hi Friedrich

I've got this line of code in one of my scripts
Wait Dialog: Display "Installing a required file from Microsoft -
dotnetfx35setup.exe. Anticipate a long wait."
but its not showing the full message on XP (havent checked other OS's yet).

Would it be possible to either have SB7 prevent us from using messages that
are too long to be displayed or could the dialog window display the full
message, maybe even line wrap the text?<g>

Richard,

In the text entry, have you tried Shift-Enter (or is it Ctrl-Enter? I can
never remember <g>) to break the text line in two?

Unfortunately, this dialog can only display a single-line.

The dialog can display values that come from a runtime variable. So there
is no way to check (at compile time) if the text fits into the static text
control.
