Getting Timeout of a MsgBox ??

[Solchael]

Hello everyone, how are you all ? 

I am new here, so I hope it's the right place to ask. If no, then apologies and if a moderator can move it to the correct section. 

I am completly new to coding and new to AutoIt. And I am trying to get the result of the Timeout of a MsgBox. 

IE : If timeout is over then desplay a message
      Else continue

the code : 

expandcollapse popup

$iTimeout = 10
$s_currentday = InputBox ("Tutoriel" , "Which day of the week are we??", "Enter a day" , "" , 200, 130, Default, Default, $iTimeout)


If $iTimeout <> 0 then
    MsgBox ( 16, "Tutoriel", "Too long to answer, programe will close!!")
Else
    Switch $s_currentday
        Case "Monday"
            MsgBox ( 0, "Tutoriel", "It's only the start of the week!")
            $mybox = MsgBox ( 4, "Tutoriel", "Do you feel good?")
                If $mybox = 6 Then
                    MsgBox ( 0, "Tutoriel", "It's the start of an awesome week!")
                ElseIf $mybox = 7 Then
                    MsgBox ( 0, "Tutoriel", "Don't worry tomorrow will be a better day!")
                EndIf
        Case "Tuesday"
            MsgBox ( 0, "Tutoriel", "Second day of the week!")
            $mybox = MsgBox ( 4, "Tutoriel", "Do you feel good?")
                If $mybox = 6 Then
                    MsgBox ( 0, "Tutoriel", "Let's make this week and amazing one!")
                ElseIf $mybox = 7 Then
                    MsgBox ( 0, "Tutoriel", "Don't worry tomorrow will be a better day!")
                EndIf
        Case "Wednesday"
            MsgBox ( 0, "Tutoriel", "Third day of the week!")
            $mybox = MsgBox ( 4, "Tutoriel", "Do you feel good?")
                If $mybox == 6 Then
                    MsgBox ( 0, "Tutoriel", "Half of the week and yet more good stuff to come!")
                ElseIf $mybox = 7 Then
                    MsgBox ( 0, "Tutoriel", "Don't worry tomorrow will be a better day!")
                EndIf
        Case "Thursday"
            MsgBox ( 0, "Tutoriel", "Closer to the weekend!")
            $mybox = MsgBox ( 4, "Tutoriel", "Do you feel good?")
                If $mybox = 6 Then
                    MsgBox ( 0, "Tutoriel", "We are close to end the week! Keep that positive mind")
                ElseIf $mybox = 7 Then
                    MsgBox ( 0, "Tutoriel", "Don't worry tomorrow will be a better day!")
                EndIf
        Case "Friday"
            MsgBox ( 0, "Tutoriel", "Almost weekend!")
            $mybox = MsgBox ( 4, "Tutoriel", "Do you feel good?")
                If $mybox = 6 Then
                    MsgBox ( 0, "Tutoriel", "It's the start of an awesome weekend! Think of what you are going to do!")
                ElseIf $mybox = 7 Then
                    MsgBox ( 0, "Tutoriel", "Don't worry tomorrow will be a better day! Maybe you can go out and have a drink with your friends?")
                EndIf
        Case "Saturday"
            MsgBox ( 0, "Tutoriel", "It's the start of the weekend!")
            $mybox = MsgBox ( 4, "Tutoriel", "Do you feel good?")
                If $mybox = 6 Then
                    MsgBox ( 0, "Tutoriel", "It's the start of an awesome weekend!")
                ElseIf $mybox = 7 Then
                    MsgBox ( 0, "Tutoriel", "Don't worry tomorrow is Sunday, you can rest and have a good day with your friends and/or family!")
                EndIf
        Case "Sunday"
            MsgBox ( 0, "Tutoriel", "We are almost at the end of the week!")
            $mybox = MsgBox ( 4, "Tutoriel", "Do you feel good?")
                If $mybox = 6 Then
                    MsgBox ( 0, "Tutoriel", "It's the end of an awesome week! And I am sure that the next one will be even better!")
                ElseIf $mybox = 7 Then
                    MsgBox ( 0, "Tutoriel", "Don't worry tomorrow will be the start of a new week! So new chance to feel better")
                EndIf
    EndSwitch
EndIf

Sorry for my bad english, not my main language. 

Thanks in advance,

EDIT : Seems I can't edit my own post. 

But the code is of course wrong because : 

"If $iTimeout <> 0"  can't be a good condition, I tested with "If $iTimeout = 0"

Your title refers to MsgBox.  I assume you meant InputBox.

You want to look at the value of @error to see if the dialog was cancelled or timed out.

Example:

#include <Constants.au3>

$sValue = InputBox("Test", "Enter anything you like", "", "", -1, -1, Default, Default, 5)
If @error Then
    Switch @error
        Case 1 ;Cancelled
            MsgBox($MB_ICONINFORMATION + $MB_TOPMOST, "INFO", "User cancelled input box")
        Case 2 ;Timed out
            MsgBox($MB_ICONINFORMATION + $MB_TOPMOST, "INFO", "Input box timed out")
        Case Else ;Other error
            MsgBox($MB_ICONERROR + $MB_TOPMOST, "ERROR", "Input box failed - @error = " & @error)
    EndSwitch
    Exit
EndIf

MsgBox($MB_ICONINFORMATION + $MB_TOPMOST, "INFO", "You entered:" & @LF & @LF & $sValue)

Thank you. I just didn't read properly the Function InputBox .... It's clearly written ... Maybe I need another pair of glasses : 
 

Return Value

Success:	the string that was entered.
Failure:	"" (empty string) and sets the @error flag to non-zero.
@error:	1 = The Cancel button was pushed. 2 = The Timeout time was reached. 3 = The InputBox failed to open. This is usually caused by bad arguments. 4 = The InputBox cannot be displayed on any monitor. 5 = Invalid parameters width without height or left without top.
