if, else, msgbox help please

[dragonheard]

well i am trying to make a script that does the following: starts when you boot up my/the users computer

asks you if you are allowed to use it

if you click yes you can proceed and the script stops(sometime ill make you put a password in hehehe)

if you click no it will just shutdown your pc

i got the msgbox and startup working

but i dont know what the values of yes or no are

so when i type if yes then shutdown

it doesnt do anything

and when i type

else

msgbox (1,"so you don't","so your not allowed to use it? GOODBYE")

it doesnt show up either when you click anything else then yes.

can anyone please tell me what to type at the IF *value*

thanks,

dragonheurt

set the msgbox to a variable. the variable will tell you which button was pressed. check the help file under msgbox for the return values.

[dragonheard]

how to put yes and no into different variables?

because i do know how to make one

but is there a command wich does the same as if returnvalue or something since that doesnt exist?

$var = MsgBox(1, "", "Click OK if you have permission to enter...")
If $var = 1 Then
MsgBox(0, "", "You're in!")
ElseIf $var = 2 Then
MsgBox(0, "", "Get Lost!")
Shutdown(1)
EndIf

Something like this..

[dragonheard]

ohh thanks i'm gonna try that

[Kidney]

$msg = MsgBox(4, "Title", "Text") ;this is a message box that displays a 'Yes' and 'No'
If $msg = 6 Then MsgBox(0, "Return", "You pressed 'Yes'")
If $msg = 7 Then MsgBox(0, "Return", "You pressed 'No'")

[dragonheard]

thanks a lot both of you works like a charm hehehe

i got one last question (for now lool)

is there any way to keep it on top so when you try to click outside it you'll get the well known DUNG sound?

[tes5884]

Dunno, beyond my limited knowledge.. muttley

[JLogan3o13]

One of the options for MsgBox is setting the top-most attribute (look at the second to the last option in the help file). Regarding playing the sound, you would have to script that yourself. At that point, it may be better to create your own "msgbox" GUI that you can better control.

Dragonheard,

based on the questions you ask I would suggest that you start reading some AutoIt tutorials (click on Wiki at the top of each page). This will teach you the basics of the language.

The questions you will ask then will show us that you have put some effort in learning the language and we will be happy to help you.

i did and ill allways do but i like learning from doing it myself its how i learned vars and color clicking i also read the help files from scite i was just asking since i couldnt find it...

thanks for the reply and tip though =)

Are you using the scite editor ? I really suggest using it. Also get really used to using the built in help files. They are fantastic and almost everything has a great example at the bottom.

Just saw your other thread, I hope you aren't working on childish scripts to annoy people. Sigh.

yepp i am using the scite editor because it really helps its much easier

and the help files r awesome too i read em almost everyday lol

and about the spam script it wasnt really to annoy anyone i wanted to learn how to make a gui and seems a spammer can use one..

Even an intelligent app developer can too If you're using SciTe and you utilize the help file... there shouldn't be a need to ask all of these silly questions as both features (yes&no buttons + the set on top attribute) are documented in the msgbox() function and is easily understandable.

as long as you understand the concept. this concept of return values is a constant thing in many languages so its good to learn it as soon as you can. if there isnt anymore questions we can mark this as resolved instead of attacking each other
