Value

Description

1

Compiler

Messages issued by the compiler when compiling a component or analyzing a model.

2

Putmess

Messages issued by the putmess ProcScript statement.

3

Message

Messages issued by the message ProcScript statement.

 

(default)

Use the channel specified for the widget in the .ini file.

Description

In ProcScript it is possible to specify a comma-delimited list of numbers so that Output Box widget can simultaneously subscribe to multiple channels, and (if applicable) unsubscribe from channels to which it was subscribed before. In the Properties Inspector, it is only possible to choose a single value.

Compiler messages and putmess text are always directed to the message frame, but you can use MsgChannel to also direct them to the Output Box.

Setting in ProcScript

This property is static and can only be set in ProcScript before the form is displayed (for example, before the edit command in the exec operation).

operation exec
   $fieldproperties(FLD4) = "msgchannel=2,3"
   edit
end; exec
