Messages

See it live

Try the messages with live controls in the component catalog: the real AWE component and the XML that produces it.

Message elements define the messages that are shown after executing an action. They are usually declared in the hidden section of the window.

This element is usually referenced from the target attribute of a button action.

    ... more messages ...
  </tag>
