Using guide windows

As an enhancement of macro dialogs, you can display a guide window that displays text to help the user fill in the dialog fields. Guide windows are controlled by a set of 3 macro statements that can only be used in the [dialogs] section of macros:

GuideTxt line_no "line_text"

This statement sets the text of the line line_no in the guide window to line_text. If line_text contains white spaces, you must enclose the entire text in double quotes.

GuideShow

This statement displays the guide window once you have set all lines of text. It must be placed before the macro statement which runs the pre-dialog.

GuideClr

This statement is used to clear the guide window and the text it contains after the guide window has been displayed.
