Message Setup Dialog

The Message Setup dialog, accessible from the Administer menu, displays the configuration and content of the messages used by BarTender. You can also define how the messages will be displayed, whether they will be logged, and how BarTender will respond to them.

The Reset to Defaults button will restore settings to their defaults. The change will appear immediately, but doesn't actually take effect until the OK button is pressed. Pressing Cancel after pressing Reset to Defaults does not restore the default settings.

Message Grid

The grid at the top of the dialog lists the messages that can appear in BarTender. The grid display includes the following columns:

Message Contents

The Message Contents section displays the content of the currently selected message from the Message Grid.

Message Target(s)

The Message Target(s) section defines where the message will appear when it is generated. The available options include:

Default Response to Message

Some messages require a response, such as clicking OK or Cancel. BarTender must make these responses automatically if the message cannot be displayed to the user (e.g., the dialog is turned off). The possible responses to the currently highlighted message appear in the Default Response to Message section. Select the response you want BarTender to make automatically in the event that the message is not displayed to the user.
