Show Message
The Show message element creates a message that is either displayed in the HCA display pane or
in its own window. If the message is shown in the display pane it persists for a few seconds before
being removed.
If the message is displayed in its own window, that window will persist until you close it or it
expires. You can set the expiration time in the HCA properties on the display tab.
The properties for the Show message element allow you to enter the text to display, the destination
of the message (display pane or own window) and the color for the text and background.
