Message Section

The Message Section displays application messages and logs at the bottom of the Main Panel.

Message Handling

The Message Section is connected to <xref:Hi.Common.Messages.MessageHost>.<xref:Hi.Common.Messages.MessageHost.Default> through the ProgressChanged event. When a message is reported:

  1. The Brief Message Text Field content is updated
  2. The message is appended to the daily log file at logs/log-{DateTime.Now:yyyy-MM-dd}.txt

Message Types

The MessageFlag determines the display behavior:

Flag Display Behavior
Exception Alert style, shown in Message Section
Warning and above Shown in Message Section
Info and below Logged only, not shown in Message Section
Note

When the message is an Exception, the brief message shows Message while the full exception details are logged to file.
