I would like to use the textstyleadd function for a message displayed in a
custom dialogbox, but when I use this in a calc like this, it doesn't work.
Would this be possible at all? The helpfile doesn't say anything about this,
as far as I can tell.

"No records found that match the word: " & TextStyleAdd ( $TempSearch;
Bold )

$TempSearch does contain the correct value.

Text displayed in a Custom Dialog is not modifiable.

To work around that, use global fields on a separate Messages layout which would be displayed in a new window sized and positioned similar to that of the custom message. That layout can contain fields and buttons which would behave in a fashion similar to those in the Custom Dialog.
