Create a MsgBox with buttons disabled for specific amount of time

[simplercoder000]

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!

[argumentum]

since MsgBox() is a blocking function, the way to go about it is to make your own GUI.
Or, use @Melba23's https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/109096-extended-message-box-new-version-19-nov-21/

You could make customized MsgBox() funcs (I believe that's the route Melba took, haven't looked in years) like @argumentum suggested.

You could write an outside script and execute before the msgbox to disable the message box button (eg using run() to run script from memory or from an executable) before the msgbox (way more of a hassle me thinks).

You could set windows hooks, I did it here: 

But I didn't add a disable/timer option, but it's totally possible. (Warning, I haven't updated that thing in years but the concept is still there)

Honestly, with the way Melba keeps up with things, if he has that option, that's probably the way to go.

@argumentum Nice, this UDF seems to be really great it's has more features and options more than the usual MsgBox

 

Now I'm trying to figure out how could I add some buttons into this example.

Here's the same example used in _ExtMsgBox:

#include "ExtMsgBox.au3"

; Set the message box right justification, not TOPMOST, disable closure, colours (orange text on green background) and change font
_ExtMsgBoxSet(1 + 2 + 64, 0)

$sMsg = "Please make sure to read this:" & @CRLF
$sMsg &= "Some important text is here" & @CRLF & @CRLF
$sMsg &= "Are you sure want to continue ?"

_ExtMsgBox(128, " ", "Test 6", $sMsg, 20, 100, 500)

; Reset to default
_ExtMsgBoxSet(Default)

After the message box timeout is finished the button should be enabled

only then the user can click on the button, If user didn't click on the button then the message box should be remained.

Func TellThemAndTellThemGood()

    Local $sMsg = "Please make sure to read this:" & @CR
    $sMsg &= "Some important text is here" & @CR & @CR
    $sMsg &= "Are you sure want to continue ?"
    MsgBox(262144 + 64, StringTrimRight(@ScriptName, 4), $sMsg, 60)
EndFunc

This is what you would like to see @simplercoder000, right ?

Yes, that's what I wanted to see exactly even the timeout are in the button itself.

But I think there's an glitch in the MessageBox, the timeout can be skipped by fast clicking on the button.

Also is it possible to write this in more easier way ?

 

[SmOke_N]

Hide it if you're having issues (ControlHide/ControlShow if you're using @argumentum's example)

No it can not while the button is disable. But it does take time until it get's disable, some, 300 or less mSec ?.

The notion is there. If anyone click that fast on it is because they are aware and tired of it.
What are you going to use this in that it has to be a MsgBox() ?. Couldn't you code your own GUI ?

Edit: I made changes to make it faster at disabling it.

.. , ...just reading. Look. Coding is tedious, slow, error until there are none. If you wanna code, you're gonna have to learn to pace yourself.

Another way :

#include <WinAPI.au3>

Global $bEnable, $hHook

Example()

Func Example()
  Local $hProc = DllCallbackRegister(CbtHookProc, "int", "int;int;int")
  $hHook = _WinAPI_SetWindowsHookEx($WH_CBT, DllCallbackGetPtr($hProc), 0, _WinAPI_GetCurrentThreadId())
  $bEnable = False
  MsgBox(0, "test", "test",5)
  $bEnable = True
  Local $iRet = MsgBox(0, "test", "test")
  _WinAPI_UnhookWindowsHookEx($hHook)
  DllCallbackFree($hProc)
EndFunc   ;==>Example2

Func CbtHookProc($nCode, $wParam, $lParam)
  If $nCode = 5 Then ; 5=HCBT_ACTIVATE
    $hWnd = HWnd($wParam)
    If Not $bEnable Then ControlDisable($hWnd, "", "Button1")
  EndIf
  Return _WinAPI_CallNextHookEx($hHook, $nCode, $wParam, $lParam)
EndFunc   ;==>CbtHookProc

I tried this but it's not what I needed.

I don't want them to skip it, because this is gone be displayed every time they run the program.

Here's an example on what I want to achieve:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

$MsgText = 'Continue using this software at your own risk !' & @CRLF
$MsgText &= 'By clicking on OK button you are agree in the software agreement !'

$returned = MsgBox(65, 'Info', $MsgText)
If $returned = $IDCANCEL Then
    Exit
Else
    #do nothing
EndIf


#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 339, 131, 192, 124)
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Welcome to the empty frame software :)", 72, 32, 191, 17)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd

You may note that I have used two buttons here but that's not a problem I can be good with one button.

ok, thanks to @Nine, now you have a UDF file. And call it kind of like MsgBox()

There you go.

Edit: Fixed "Run Once", never running again.
Edit2: Fixed button, not restoring the original text.
Edit3: Added X,Y  "WinMove()".
Edit4: Fixed when delay is zero because the user just wants to move the MsgBox().
Edit5: Changed the name to a more fitting one.
Edit6: Added to optionally choose the button to disable.
Edit7: Added to optionally change a default button text.
Edit8: Fixed stuff and added stuff. ( Example for some of new stuff provided )

Edit9: Added _MsgBox_Extn_SetMessageText()
Edit10: Added "disable all buttons", if the 2nd number is a negative   (" 5 sec. / -1 ButtonNumber ", .
Edit11: Removed callback parameters in function. This is simpler.

I would suggest to make message box centered since this will make it more correctly print in different screens.

[argumentum]

lol, then your GUI has to exist first. Then call the MsgBox.

You're some developer you know.

[argumentum]

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

#include <MsgBox_Extn.au3> ; the magic

$MsgText = 'Continue using this software at your own risk !' & @CRLF
$MsgText &= 'By clicking on OK button you are agree in the software agreement !'


#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 339, 131, -1, -1)
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Welcome to the empty frame software :)", 72, 32, 191, 17)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###


;~ $returned = MsgBox(65, 'Info', $MsgText)
$returned = _MsgBox_Extn(5, 65, 'Info', $MsgText, 0, $Form1)
If $returned = $IDCANCEL Then
    GUIDelete()
    Exit
Else
    #do nothing
EndIf

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd

I hope that's good enough

It's even working after enabling the High DPI mode, excellent work guys :)

 

Thank you all guys for everything.

Added gif

...what do people with insomnia do ?. Code 🤪
Added WinMove the MsgBox() to, anywhere. Center it on you GUI if the GUI is not centered ?

And renamed the UDF and function. It does more and quite likely, will have more use as a box mover, than the original timer delay aspect of it.

renamed everything

..you know, going down the rabbits hole, at trying to add "SetDlgItemText" to rename the buttons, might as well just have added the timer thing to your script. 😅

Edit: ..the idea started after reading https://uxmovement.com/buttons/why-the-ok-button-is-no-longer-okay/ and I'm like, meh, I'll add that too. Wrong.
