how to Display a simle message box containing a custom messa

[Debstep]

I would like to display a simple dialog box with an ok or ok cancel button that will show a message to a user . I have this message stored in a variable and I wish to use this message box to display whatever message I put into the variable.
I created a dialog and tried edit text , memo, static text etc but whatever I do I can only get it o display $ERRORSTRING$ not the actual string.

Anyone figured out how to do this?

Thanks for any hints

Try using a label with your variable in the caption property.

Thanks that worked...I just wanted something a little more customizable then the regular message box....
