Contents |
The Message Popup Rule is a TRS19 and T:ANE Session Rule that creates onscreen messages for users in Driver Mode. |
The Message Popup Rule is added to a Session and configured using the Session Editor in Surveyor. The rule will open a browser window on the screen in Driver Mode that will remain on the screen until it is closed by the user or by another rule. There are three ways the message window can be created, by:
- using a HTML Page
- creating a Custom Message
- using a String Table Message
Using a HTML Page
The settings shown in this example will direct TRS19/TANE to load the message from a HTML file in a HTML asset.

Using a Custom Message
The settings shown in this example will direct TRS19/TANE to load the message from text entered in the Custom Message box.

Using a String-Table Message
The settings shown in this example will direct TRS19/TANE to load the message from text stored in the config.txt string table of a specified HTML asset.
|
For example, the config.txt file of the asset General Purpose Session HTML contains the following:-
string-table { html_warning_late "You are running late!" }
...which will produce the message "You are running late!" from the Message Popup Rule settings shown above.
