What are the alternatives to the tiny MsgBox?

The MsgBox() function is fine if your messages are very short.

What are the AutoI alternatives if you need to display larger messages?

Is there a lager dialog available, or do I need to write something from scratch?

 

Thanks

Just make a gui with scrollable edit control, it's one of the more simpler tasks.

Or you can use the extended MsgBox UDF written by Melba and found here:

Thank you- that's what I was hoping for. The less I need to write, the better.

 

BTW- What is the preferred directory to install the UDFs, so the compiler finds them without having to fiddle with the path?

The only place AutoIt will find them with no "fiddling" is the includes folder in the same directory where you installed AutoIt. Personally, I have a "MyUDFs" folder in my profile, so that it is not overwritten on upgrades. You just go into SciTE Config (F1) if you're using the full install, and fill in the User Include Folder.

Thanks- that sounds good to me
