Can I have pop up messages with automate?

[sosimple]

Hi. sorry for my bad English. I will try to explaine what i want to do. When I run an automate script, until its done , there is the icon of automate in the system tray. Can I have this icon to prin in the screen a messege? for example to write : "the script is working" after to print "the script will now end". It would be perfect if it could popup a window , like msn messenger when you have a male to give you the idea. If this is posiple ,please give me an ansuer . thanks

It doesnt do anything when I run this.. Why?

Try:

From the Helpfile:

TrayTip("I'm a title", "I'm the message", 5, 1)
MsgBox(4096,"", "Press OK to see another tip.")
TrayTip("clears any tray tip","",0)
TrayTip("", "A different tray tip.", 5)
Sleep(5000)

Try:

From the Helpfile:

It stil doesnt do anything. It works the msgbox printing "Press OK to see another tip." , but nothing before and after pressing tha Ok button . I quess the icon in the tray should write "I'm a title", "I'm the message"

and after the Ok "A different tray tip." , but nothing hapens... I downloaded the latest version of autoit, because a had 2-3 months old, tried again, nothing, did a reboot to the pc , still nothing ... Any ideas why?

Thanks for the help anyway, I think this is what i was searching, but for some reason doesnt work to my pc..

Ok I tried to my second pc and it works ok, it does what i wanted. I dont know why it doesnt work in this pc, perhaps any problem with XP service pack 2? ...

It's NOT Xp service pack 2, I have been using that for a long time

I just ran into this problem this week - I had a user that could not see TrayTips on a system running XP Pro SP2. I logged onto that system as another user and it worked as expected... so it was something unique to his setup. I never did find out what caused it. Anyone know?

Ok thanks for the info.. Then perhaps any problem with my Greek win Xp ?.... Any other Greek in here using autoit ? a bit dificult i think... ! (the other PC has English Xp..)
