Hi, I would like to create an message box with disabled buttons for specified amount of time after that period the buttons should be automatically enabled. Example code (but not working as desired): MsgBox(64, 'Sometitle', 'Please make sure to read this' & @CRLF & 'Are you sure want to continue ?') Sleep(5000) I'm wondering If such a thing could be achieved Waiting for your thoughts, thank you!

Hello, it's quite often, that someone asks how to change the texts of the MsgBox buttons or the InputBox buttons or how to change the position of ta MsgBox. Since years I use CBT hooks for that, but now I made a small UDF out of it for the ease of use. Of course you can build your own GUI or use already existing UDFs to do the same, but I like this way and you can hack (hook) the inbuild InputBox.

Dear AutoIt Community, i want my script to pop-up a MsgBox, but at the same time to continue the script. ConsoleWrite("Hello - 1" & @CRLF) MsgBox(0, "", "Hello - 2") ConsoleWrite("Hello - 3" & @CRLF)If I do it as above, the script is paused and waiting for me to close the MsgBox to continue on the third line. I don't want to set a timer to close the MsgBox either, because I will read the contents of the MsgBox but want my script continue to the next lines. I didn't see any kind of restriction on the MsgBox help file that will cause the script to be paused. Can you please tell / show me if this is possible?

Sometimes when I call several MsgBox's they start popping up under other windows, which the requires ALT + TAB or click the taskbar icon. I just wanted to share this workaround: Just add a simple GUI in your program: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> $Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 1, 1, 0, 0) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) The GUI window size here is 1x1 so it will be nearly invisible, and at the top-left of your screen. It seems as long as that GUI is there all MsgBox's appear on top! I only tend to create several MsgBox's in a row when I'm actually writing and testing scripts, so the GUI being there is no big deal (I just remove/comment the GUI creation right before I build the .EXE). Have a great day!!!

Hi, after years of use autoit i am tired to type all time: msgbox('','','Hi') So, wanna mod the function for set default values... or some more changes. where is the function? or there are another modes for debug messages that i do not knowed ? XD [just wanna like alert('text')] And is there any place for all integrates functions ? Thank. Sry my english =E

Hi guys, So I am trying to automate a task and this task has an input box with an already set character "9". I have just decided that I don't really need the input as an option but it's good to leave however for this instance I would like it to run past this point automatically. I've tried numerous ways to try and automate the use of the "OK" button using ControlClick and various other options. I just can't seem to see where this point in the script is. Scoured the forums for anything similar but didn't have any luck finding anything. Sorry to be a pain and I hope someone can help, if I haven't explained in enough detail please don't hesitate to ask for more. Many thanks, Ackerz Local $len Local $n Local $buff Local $aMyDate $Len = InputBox("Test",$msgPrompt,"9") $len = StringStripWS($len,$STR_STRIPALL) ;Check that user has entered a vaild password length if not StringIsDigit($len) or $len = 0 Then MsgBox(48,"Error","Invaild Integer was entered" & @CRLF & "Program will now exit.") Exit EndIf ;This creates the random password. for $i = 1 to $Len ;Pick a random char between 1 and the pwsMask Length $n = int(random(1,StringLen($pwsMask))) ;Concat each char that has been picked out of pwsMask to $buff $buff = $Buff & StringMid($pwsmask,$n,1) Next

Hello, as a start in Autoit i tried something i was missing since im using Autoit. I build a custom MessageBox which has a large amount of custom options and which scales its size on the parameters you set. Aviable Settings: -Title -Unlimited Buttons -Text Color (Buttons, Text) -Background Color (Msgbox, Buttons, Label) -Button Timeout -Autoclose Timeout -Icon (Default, No Icon, Custom) -Label/ Button Style. -Transparency I tried to keep this as close as i could to a Msgbox i was used too on my batch times. After i was ready i realised, @Melba23 probably build a way better msgbox which would have suit my needs enterly, anyway thanks to @Melba23 because i use his Stringsize UDF. local $Message = _sMsgBox("Test", 6, "Continue?") if @extended <> -1 Then MsgBox(0, @extended, $Message&" Button pressed") ScalingMessageBox.au3

I am having a hard time understanding why this is not working. I was hoping some one could help explain it to me. $tags = $oIE.document.GetElementsByTagName("input") For $tag in $tags $class_value = $tag.GetAttribute("class") If string($class_value) = "fTs-p3298-l0 wplEditControl" Then $target = $tag ExitLoop EndIF Next MsgBox(0,"",$target) If $target = "fTs-p3298-l0 wplEditControl" THEN MsgBox(0,"","itworked") I have tried  MsgBox(0,"",$target.Attribute)  MsgBox(0,"",$target.Value)  MsgBox(0,"",$target.InnerText) I would expect to see this in the msgbox fTs-p3298-l0 wplEditControl

Hello, I'm trying to make it so that when a message box pops up that the GUI will be unresponsive until that message box has been closed. From reading through the help the closest thing I can find is the WinWaitClose function, however this doesn't work fully as desired. If user tries to click on GUI the actions are more just waiting for the message box to close, so that once it closes everything happens at once. I want it so that the GUI is completely unusable until message box is closed. Below is test code to demonstrate the problem and help explain what I want. Any advice on this? #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> Example() Func Example() ; Create a GUI with various controls. Local $hGUI = GUICreate("Example") Local $idOK = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 310, 370, 85, 25) local $but = GUICtrlCreateButton("Hello", 150,150,85,25) ; Display the GUI. GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI) MsgBox( 262144,"Message","Try hitting the hello button several times,without closing this window. Now close this window and see how script wasn't restricted it just was waiting and storing the instructions") WinWaitClose("Message") While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, $idOK Exit case $but MsgBox(0,"","Hello") EndSwitch WEnd ; Delete the previous GUI and all controls. GUIDelete($hGUI) EndFunc ;==>Example

Hello ! I'm making a little script with only a tray option, no GUI. And i would like to know if someone created a function to set a personalized icon in top-left corner of the MsgBox and/or InputBox... -hcI

I am a little confused and not sure what I am doing wrong. I am trying to get a OK and Cancel button that is always on top. $MB_OKCANCEL 1 OK and Cancel $MB_TOPMOST 262144 MsgBox() has top-most attribute set But when I try to run this code. $Msg = MsgBox(1 & 262144, "Registration", "Would you like to continue?") I get this.

I have a simple msgbox function that I need to use in multiple places, but have different outcomes. For example, in one location if the left button was pressed I need it to write a one of the reg values. How do I accomplish this? #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1) Local $reg0 = RegWrite("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Newton\Default\Servers", "WRKSTN_ID", "REG_DWORD", "0") Local $reg1 = RegWrite("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Newton\Default\Servers", "WRKSTN_ID", "REG_DWORD", "1") Local $reg2 = RegWrite("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Newton\Default\Servers", "WRKSTN_ID", "REG_DWORD", "2") Local $reg3 = RegWrite("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Newton\Default\Servers", "WRKSTN_ID", "REG_DWORD", "3") Local $reg4 = RegWrite("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Newton\Default\Servers", "WRKSTN_ID", "REG_DWORD", "4") MainGUI() Func MainGUI() Local $Left, $Right, $msg GUICreate("Light") Opt("GUICoordMode", 2) $Left = GUICtrlCreateButton("Left", 10, 30, 50) $Right = GUICtrlCreateButton("Right", 0, -1) GUISetState() While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() Select Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop Case $msg = $Left ; write reg value Case $msg = $Right ; write reg value EndSelect WEnd EndFunc

The MsgBox() function is fine if your messages are very short. What are the AutoI alternatives if you need to display larger messages? Is there a lager dialog available, or do I need to write something from scratch? Thanks

I'm unable to display a message box from a compiled AutoIt alerting script that is executed from a service (also a compiled AutoIt script). I used $MB_SERVICE_NOTIFICATION, but the dialog doesn't appear and the alerting script continues as if the OK button had been clicked. The service script uses ShellExecute() to launch the alerter (as opposed to a *Wait() call) so it can continue processing. Note that we used Windows Service Wrapper (winsw) to turn the compiled script into a service but haven't identified any issues from it. I tried the one-line execute example given in this thread: Message box timeout not working ; 2097152 = $MB_SERVICE_NOTIFICATION $iPID = Run(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "MsgBox(2097152, ''' & $sTitle & ''', ''' & $sText & ''')"') without the timeout code, but no luck: the MsgBox does not appear. (In any case, we don't have AutoIt installed on the target system, so it would have to be converted into a .exe file.) We're developing and unit-testing on Win 7 Enterprise; the target OS is Win 7 Pro, and the AutoIt version is 3.3.14.2. Any solutions or suggestions will be much appreciated. Code fragments are below. Thanks. The following code fragment is the relevant portion of the alerting script that displays the MsgBox: [...] ; Alert the operator that there's a problem with the recording $sFeed = $aRecInfo[6] $sSession = $aRecInfo[2] $sTemp = $aRecInfo[4] $sDate = _FormatDate($sTemp) $sTemp = $aRecInfo[5] $sTime = _FormatTime($sTemp) _Debug2("Inactive recording feed " & $sFeed & ", Session=" & $sSession & ", Start Date/Time=" & _ $sDate & " " & $sTime) $sErrorMsg = "ERROR: Feed " & $sFeed & " for session " & $sSession & " stopped, notify reporter immediately" $iMbFlag = $MB_SERVICE_NOTIFICATION _Debug1("Displaying MsgBox...") MsgBox($iMbFlag, "INTERVIEW RECORDING ERROR", $sErrorMsg) _Debug1("Returned from MsgBox") [...] And the calling code fragment in the service is: ; Walk through the array backwards so we don't end up evaluating an index that doesn't exist For $iIndex = UBound($aFeedArray)-1 To 0 Step -1 [...] ; Before timing-out the feed, check for a .mpgpart file (=> feed may still be recording) $sDirPath = $sDirTemp & "\" & $sFeedTemp & "\" & $aFeedArray[$iIndex][$cSessionName] $sMpgPartName = GetMpgPart($sDirPath, $sFeedTemp) If StringLen($sMpgPartName) > 0 Then ; If .mpgpart file name hasn't changed in more than $iDeadFeedTime seconds, then declare feed dead ; ========v Test code to force error v======== $sMpgPartName = $aFeedArray[$iIndex][$cMpgPartName] ; ========^ Test code to force error ^======== _Debug2("Just set $sMpgPartName to '" & $sMpgPartName & "', should fall into dead-feed code") If $sMpgPartName = $aFeedArray[$iIndex][$cMpgPartName] Then ; Name is same => feed is dead: alert the operator and delete the feed w/out stop-processing _Debug2("Feed " & $sFeedTemp & " looks dead -- alerting the operator") _Debug2("Delete GUID " & $aFeedArray[$iIndex][$cGUID]) ; ======== Alert app execution ======== ; $sAlertApp = @ScriptDir & "\" & "RecAlert.exe" $iChildPid = ShellExecute($sAlertApp, $sDirPath, "", "open") _Debug2("Alert app: ShellExecute(): " & _RetStr($iChildPid, @error, @extended)) _ArrayDelete($aFeedArray, $iIndex) Else ; Otherwise, the .mpgpart name has changed, reset the timer, store the name, and continue _Debug2("Feed " & $sFeedTemp & " timeout, but has new .mpgpart file -- continuing") $aFeedArray[$iIndex][$cDateTime] = TimerInit() $aFeedArray[$iIndex][$cMpgPartName] = $sMpgPartName EndIf ContinueLoop EndIf [...] Next

Hi guys, through a script, a button refers me content in a txt file. You can have a MsgBox if this file is modified the content?

Quick search did not supply existing threads. Maybe I am missing something.

For Labels one cures the problem with the style $SS_NOPREFIX, but what's to do with the MsgBox? Just a nudge in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks

Hello, I'm rather new at Autoit (picked it up again afther a couple of years) but i dont know what I'm doing wrong here.
