Displaying messages on the HCL Compass Web client

This topic provides guidelines that you should follow when displaying messages on the HCL Compass Web client.

Do not create hooks that call external functions. Functions that call other Windows™ applications, such as a message box, can stop the HCL Compass Web client.

For example, if a message box function runs on a HCL Compass server, the message box opens on the server screen. Because the user cannot click OK on the server, the Web application is left waiting. To solve the problem, you must reboot the server.

If record script hooks return a string value, that string is displayed to the user.
