The Alarm.SelectedAlarms and Alarm.Alarms properties both return an alarm collection and each alarm in the collection has a Message property. The Message property returns a string which contains the message for the alarm (the message provides information about the cause of the alarm). You can access the Message property in your Alarm Banner script.
