Hiding a message

Message boxes can be hidden using API:

webix.message.hide(message);
 
// or via the given message id
webix.message("Hi!","info",-1,"hi");
webix.message.hide("hi");

Global settings

webix.message also provides the following global settings that are applied to all message instances:

webix.message.expire (number) - expiration time in ms (4000 by default);

webix.message.expire = 2000; // messages expire in 2 seconds

webix.message.position (string) - manages the vertical positon of messages and order of their appearance. "top" by default.

// messages appear in the right bottom corner
webix.message.position = "bottom";

The position setting takes the following values:

"top" - messages are added one below another in the top right corner of the screen
"left" - messages are added one below another in the top left corner of the screen
"bottom" - messages are added one above another in the bottom right corner of the screen

If you want to specify custom horizontal or vertical position use CSS.
