MessageManifest methods
With the Message Manifest, you can share message strings across multiple projects. You can also define the characteristics of a message dialog that can be displayed to Robot Runtime/Agile Desktop users.
When building new solutions, you must accurately deliver alerts and messages that are sent to users for their desktop solutions. The Message Manifest component provides a central repository for all messages and alerts that are used within a solution, which helps you maintain corporate standards and deliver accurate messages and alerts. The repository also lets you share messages across multiple projects.
Messages and other detailed information are entered in Robot Studio in the
Message definitions dialog, which is part of the Project
Properties.
Methods
| Method | Description | Parameters | Return Type |
| GetMessage | Use this method to return output parameters which you can use in queries The parameters return the button, default button, and icon. You choose when you create the item within the Message Manifest. Each output parameters offers a blue data path that returns the result as a string. Each output parameter also provides a yellow execution path for each of the possible choices that the string could contain. In essence, these execution paths act as a case statement. For example, the icon could be warning, informational, error, and so on. Be careful how you use the execution paths off of the output parameters. Do not use multiple execution paths off the block. This is not a best practice. | messageBoxButtons messageBoxDefaultButton messageBoxIcon | |
