Question

I use a piece of code like this to show an alert using the TdxAlertWindowManager.
This gives me one alert window and in this window there are several messages.
What I would like to do is to show an alert window with the first line of text and on the same window I would like to put a new text.
The program is used to connect a computer to some network shares and the message I would like to put looks like:

Connecting drive y: to \\server\foldery
Connecting drive x: to \\server\folderx

and so on for the rest of the shares.
But I can’t figure out how to do it with TdxAlertWindowManager

Some years ago when I made the program I used nxAlert from Berg software, but I don’t have it available any more. On that it was no problem to do this.

if fAlertWindow = nil then
  dxAlertWindowManager.Show(sHpAlertCaption, AlertText, fIndex).Tag := 1
else
  begin
    fAlertWindow.MessageList.Add(sHpAlertCaption, AlertText, fIndex);
    fAlertWindow.RestartDisplayTimer;
  end;

Answer 1

I don’t know how to make TdxAlerWindowManager to display new line but I know how to alter current messages. Just edit Items[0] property of the MessageList. I do it in timer.

var
fAlertWindow: TdxAlertWindow;

procedure TFMain.Timer1Timer(Sender: TObject);
begin
  fAlertWindow := dxAlertWindowManager1.Show('Caption', 'Hello1');
  Timer1.Enabled := False;
end;

procedure TFMain.Timer2Timer(Sender: TObject);
begin
  fAlertWindow.BeginUpdate;
  fAlertWindow.MessageList.Items[0].Text := 'Hello2';
  fAlertWindow.EndUpdate;
  Timer2.Enabled := False;
end;

Works 100%
