MsgPanel object version 1.1

This object is an alternative for the Messagebox. It gives the programmer the possibility to give the enduser 
Messages without blokking the application. It consists of a panel at the bottom of the form.

New in version 1.1

Optional locking of the application.
In version 1.0 only a message was given to the Enduser. Now the  programmer has the option to lock the 
application until a specific unlockkey is pressed. This locking can be done on all warning levels.or not all.

Better in version 1.1
Color of the Msgpanel did not reset right after displaying a message.
