Characteristics of dialog box

The title of the dialog box corresponds to the title of the current window (or page).
To modify or define the title of dialog box, use NextTitle.

The message is aligned to left.
The captions of buttons depend on the runtime language of Windows.
The maximum number of characters cannot exceed 4096. If a larger string is passed in parameter, it will be truncated.
The entire string is displayed, regardless of its size.
The icon displayed (information tooltip) cannot be modified.

Line break in the dialog box

The CR string (Carriage Return) can be used to force a break to the next line. For example:

Info("The XXX form was modified." + CR + "This form will be saved.")

is equivalent to:

Info("The XXX form was modified.", "This form will be saved.")

You also have the ability to use the syntax of multiline strings. For example:

Info(
[
The XXX form has been modified.

This form will be saved.
])

Special cases

Timers (TimerSys) are not stopped when this function is called.
The call to Info is effective in the current page only. If PageDisplay is used after Info, the dialog box will not be displayed in the new page.
DelayBeforeClosing limits how long the message is displayed. The dialog box is automatically closed. For question or confirmation dialog boxes, the default button corresponds to the expected answer.
The text of the buttons is displayed in the system language.
