Handling message alerts

The message boxes with Yes/No or OK/Cancel buttons display the Do not Show this dialog again checkbox. This checkbox if selected lets CodeWarrior automatically execute your saved choice, without displaying the message box next time. If you do not select the checkbox, the message box appears again next time.

For example, if the processor is in the Secure Debug mode and if the unlock key is not provided, then a pop-up message appears requesting the unlock key. If you enter the unlock key correctly, and select the Do not Show this dialog again checkbox, the next time when unlock is needed, the key will be automatically provided without displaying the pop-up message. This is also applicable for the message boxes which do not require user input. For example, in the CodeWarrior Alert message box, if you select the Remember my choice and don't show this dialog checkbox and click Yes, next time CodeWarrior will automatically take input as Yes, without displaying the message box. And if you select the checkbox and click No, CodeWarrior will take input as No next time.
