Unique number for a message. This number must be indicated when calling
SetMessage. Since the same message with the same message text but dif-
ferent parameters can be called multiple times in the application program, it
must be identified there in a unique manner by an instance number.
Message text
The message text entered here is attached to the message when it is called
by SetMessage. Message texts can include placeholders in order to use
them to indicate current values applicable at the time of the function call.
Placeholders are intended for the instance number and for parameters within
the message text.
The format specification can be inserted into the text in any manner. It al-
ways starts with a '%' sign and needs to end with an empty space.
