  • messageid (intValue) - holds its database id, otherwise it is set to -1.

Details ​

If there are invalid userids or usernames they are ignored and the message is sent to the valid ones only.

By default, the sender of the message is the current user, i.e. the user executing the command.

Since ADOxx version 1.3UL1 the message body can either be plain text or a LEO coded hypertext. Within such a hypertext, text parts, hyperlinks and linebreaks can be specified. The element HYPERLINK represents a hyperlink, whose text is set in the attribute text, the attribute href is supposed to be an AdoScript that is executed, when the according hyperlink is clicked in the message view. The element DATA allows to set a message specific string which will not be displayed when the message is read, but which can be searched for and used to persist additional message relevant information. The string set there will also be available to those AdoScripts that are executed if a hyperlink is clicked.
