1. Newbie questions
Howdy all. I have a few questions I hope someone can answer.
Is there a predefined function in VEL for creating a message box? By
'message box' I mean the kind that comes up with a message and an Ok button,
or the one that comes up when you try to close an unsaved file in Notepad.
I looked but couldn't find one.
I was also wondering if anything would crash if I used VEL and Win32Lib in
the same program.
Regards,
Ben

Euphoria includes message box routines in msgbox.e. See the library
documentation on message_box for details.

VEL produces a message box with an OK button with the following command:
ShowMsg({"Hello world!"})
As for Save File dialogs, there is a ShowDialog command which displays most
of the standard system dialogs, such as: OpenFile, SaveFile, Print,
PrintSetup, Font, and Color. For example:
ShowDialog((SAVEDIALOG,Form1) -- standard system dialog to save a file

I haven't tried it but I see no reason why not.

there is a routine called message_box() in euphoria\include\msgbox.e .
search for "<message_box" (without the quotes) in the library
reference manual (euphoria\doc\library.doc) for the correct syntax.
