Today I found this very quick question at the forums and I thought I would answer, because it might be of interest to other beginners.

<b>Question:</b> Is it possible to make the Show message box dragable?
also is it possible to do a Step event while showing it?

<b>Answer:</b>"message_caption(show,str) Sets the caption for the pop-up box. show indicates whether a border must b e shown (1) or not (0) and str indicates the caption when the border is shown."

- To make it dragable you must have a border. And splash screen are splash screens, pop-ups. You cannot execute anything else while showing them.

<b>Conclusion:</b> As a lot of people at the GMC likes to point out, I want to point it out as well as I agree, splash screens such as show_message is only meant for testing purpose. They should never be used in final products (okey, I know I have used them... but they shouldn't be used in professional products).
