Message Line

The MessageLine property determines whether the message line is displayed at the bottom of the application window. This is used to display non-obtrusive messages to the user.

MessageLine=Default | True | False

Example: " "

Value	Description
Default	Undefined. Use the default as defined in usys.ini
`True`	Message line is displayed at the bottom of the application window.
`False`	No message line is displayed

Usage

Dynamic?	Yes
Dependencies:	None

Description

The message line is used to display runtime messages to the user. The message statement sends MessageText to the message line, so if you choose to hide the message line, you should ensure that it is made visible before sending a message to the message line, or provide an alternative way of communicating with the user (for example, using askmess).

Setting in usys.ini

[application]
shell=ushell(MessageLine=false)

Setting in ProcScript

$applproperties()="MessageLine=false"
