I would like to know if there is some way to add a checkbox to the start up message. That when checked would prevent the start up message from being shown again the next time the ebook was loaded.
Thanks, Steve

We don't have that option built-in
Using the API (C++ programming required) it would be do-able. The C++ functions would add a new script command to display this type of message box. If you are a C++ programmer, this link would give a good starting point.http://www.gipsysoft.com/messagebox/
If you are not C++ programmer, another idea might be to rethink the design. For example maybe you really only want the message displayed the very first time. In this case instead of using the built-in start up message write a script to do this - check some flag in the INI file - if the flag is not present or says 0, display the message box - set the flag in the INI file to 1 - call this script from OnStart in Edit Add-Ins.
This 2nd way the messagebox would be displayed just once when the ebook is first run.

I'm not a program so it looks like I will have to try the other route.
KC if its not to much trouble I would appreciate it if you would put together a paste code I could use.
