Extended message box
#11
I really wouldn't call such a thing "Messagebox" anymore, that's a "Text Reader". And as @bplus alread stated, horizontal scrolling is a pain for simple text reading.

A text reader Dialog Box might be fun tool to build, perhaps off the Text Fetch app.

It would be handy for things like Help for an app.

OK, maybe it's rare these days that somebody writes a complex application and doesn't know how get it to report errors appropriately. That is, using a message box to display a few hundred lines of errors! Instead of using a list box or something. Yet this is still possible.

It's not a reader. What if it's a log that has to be displayed and it offers a way to copy the text to the clipboard?

I guess for Linux at least I'll be using "SHELL" for this kind of thing. Because I don't want to switch out of QB64 into Purebasic for only one thing. Dodgy
