Create an "answer" pop-up without the "ok" button?

[Cheong]

Hi readers,

The default answer pop-up have the "ok" button to let user to close the answer pop-up. What if I want to make the pop-up just a plain text showing up, which not allowing user to close it but it will automatically be closed?

Any idea?

Thanks.

You need to roll your own. This would be a small button or field (or even a substack) that shows itself, times out and hides. Can you do this?

You will probably need to do this with a group. You can show the group then hide it with a time script. Something like...

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   show grp "MyGroup"
   wait 3 secs 
   hide grp "MyGroup"
end mouseUp
