Hello

i begin work in GUI mode, are there any function that wotk like function 
Alert in GUI mode

i have declared AppSys() procedure

According to the Help file, alert() still exists and use a modal dialog 
box...
"The function Alert() works independently of other functions in the 
Xbase++ runtime library and guarantees output on the screen will occur. 
If screen output is required within an error handling routine for 
critical errors, it should be done using Alert()"
Garry
PS Although it seems that many Xbase++ users don't use the VX20 
interface, I do... and I like it very much. If you type "alert(" 
(without quotes), a tooltip will popup showing Alert(cMessage, 
[aOptions],{cColor])->nChoice and if you need more info the Help file is 
only 2 clicks away.

you can not use ALERT() in GUI Mode !

use  C:\ALASKA\XPPW32\SOURCE\samples\solution\alertbox\Alertbox.prg instead.

C:\ALASKA\XPPW32\SOURCE\samples\solution\alertbox\Alertbox.prg
this is the solution !

regards and tank you very much !

You are right, of course. The Help file should be read CAREFULLY! 
Although it doesn't mention that it can't be used in GUI mode, there are 
some clues like a reference to SetColor().
Personally, since I'm a TopDown user, I use tdMsg().
