8 The Message Window
With the Message Window you can keep yourself up to date about the events occurring
in TrainController while operating your model railroad with the computer. In certain
situations TrainController displays informative, warning or error messages in
the Message Window.
Most of these messages are generated by the Dispatcher (see chapter 5, “The Visual
Dispatcher”). A special mode enables displaying of additional informative messages,
which are useful to search errors during creation of your automatic control system with
the Dispatcher.
Using system operations (see page 178) it is additionally possible to display user defined
messages in the Message Window.
The different types of messages are marked with different symbols.
Symbol Meaning

certain operation has been completed successfully.

needed to perform the current action, has been deleted by the user. Normally
a user intervention is necessary, to correct the data.
