Change Message Properties

To modify the properties for a message file, open the File menu and select Manage Application Files. Properties include:
Type
This property controls to which message set the messages in the file are added.
  • User-defined messages: These are custom messages accessed via functions such as errmsg and maketext. Each message can be given a custom message number, though it is a good idea to follow a deliberate numbering scheme.
  • System message overrides: These messages override CSPro's runtime, system-level messages. These messages must use the same numbering scheme used by CSPro's system messages.
