John,

Do you still need this?

No, not if you are happy with updated explanation of what the type value actually is!

I am happy yes, those docs make perfect sense! But as I am using Paul's class now I will defer to him.

@Paul Henty ?

Thanks guys...

The only issue seems to be the event id being 0, but this is something that we just pass on from SimConnect so I'm not sure why.
Also, I'm not sure if this is even useful, which is why I'm reluctant to investigate further (and with so many other things to do!).

So basically I'll just update the offset documentation to describe the type, and also mention that the event ID doesn't seem to be correct, and consider this closed.

All good from my point of view. I'll be changing the DLL to incorporate the new type codes and colours. 

As for the event ID, it works fine in FSUIPC4, so I guess it's an issue with the P3D simconnect versions. It doesn't seem important.

Thanks all.

You guys rock!!!!

Version 3.1.24 is now available. 

The TextMenu class now recognises all the message types (see new property MessageType) and gives the colours for the single line messages (MessageColor).
