In forked version of HMG has this feature in h_taskdlg.prg and c_taskdlg.prg.c:

You can see this example at: C:\MiniGUI\SAMPLES\BASIC\TaskDialogs\ShowMessage. Thanks Grigory and P.Chornyj.
 
I like a simple button for expading/hide. But there is QMessageBox in QT 5 which shows the expanded text and which I like most because of the use of scrollbars:

You can see this example at: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmessagebox.html
 
I would rather it be done in C as one more optional element.

MSDN - Task Dialog Reference according at:

The so used MsgDebug, would look great with ScrollBars. :)

Thank you Serge for your interest.

Too bad I can not develop this in C language...

But it's something to be thought of, even if we do in C...
