Here is my MsgBoxEx UDF:

OK, you all use that last parameter in MsgBox to auto select the defualt button in "x" number of seconds... BUT how do you see how many seconds you have left before you need to panic?? Well use this UDF instead!

Not only does it count down the seconds remaining in the Default button text but it will ALSO change the wording in the dialog text as well via a token string substitution.

But there's more...

Wouldn't it be nice to BOLD a few lines to help get the message text across...

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to PARENT the Dialog back to your main Autoit window so if it closes, the dialog also closes...

Wouldn't it be nice if the dialog was modeless or modal allowing events in your main Autoit window to happen and process while the Dialog is displayed...

Here is a STILL snapshot of my MsgBoxEx in action.

The MsgBoxEx UDF and a simple Test example. v1.01

MsgBoxEx.zip

The Extentsion to the normal old MsgBox is that it:-

Will add Count-down text to the default button that counts down...

  • Will replace the characters <##> with the current remaining number of seconds on up to 5 lines of text
  • Will BOLD a while line of text if <b> or </B> tags are seen on any message line.
  • Accepts optional Parent window parameter so when parent minimises, closes then so does MsgBoxEx dialog.
  • Supports Minimize and Close SysMenu buttons
  • Works as a drop-in Modal like replacement for MsgBox() but can also work modeless in your own EventLoop environment. Button action generate Callbacks to your event handler.
  • The 1 to 3 buttons can be of ANY text by an optional Array of button text and button count values.
  • Special Return Codes for Type 8 buttons - PC Lock/Cancel.
P.S. The best Parent Window examples of MsgBoxEx use is on the About Dialog Test Button actions in my UnAttended Script .. :whistle:

Edited 15 August 2006: Added Button Text length check for User Defined Buttons Text.

; _MsgBoxExCreate($iFlag, $sTitle, $sText [, $iTimeout [, $sReturnCallBack [, $iLeft [, $iTop [, $hParent]]]]])
; __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
; $iFlag   The flag indicates the type of message box and the possible button combinations. See remarks. 
; $sTitle   The title of the message box. 
; $sText   The text of the message box. "<b>" and/or "</b>" will Bold Text of whole Line only.
;     Upto 5 lines may have <##> text replaced with the current second countdown value.
; $iTimeout   [optional]  Timeout in seconds. After the timeout has elapsed the message box will be closed.
;        Default value of 0 will disable timeout.
; $sReturnCallBack  [optional]  The name of a function you provide that takes a single argument, the ReturnCode.
;        Default value is Null String "" which is replaced with internal handler when
;        _MsgBoxEx() funcion called.
;        If using _MsgBoxExCreate(),
;         you MUST register your own ReturnCallBack function here...
;         And in your Event Loop, you need to call _MBEX_TickTock() to update timers.
; $iLeft   [optional]  X Position of Dialog, default of -1 centers dialog horizontally.
; $iTop    [optional]  Y Position of Dialog, default of -1 centers dialog vertically.
; $hParent   [optional]  Handle to a Parent Window, defaults to 0.
; __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
;
; Note, as this is Modeless, this version does not support multiple instances which can be invoked.
;       The code uses the Dialog handle of non-zero to test if another is running already.

Looks good :)

I was trying to do this but I lost my will before I finish it. :whistle:

Thanks for sharing.

Edit: Thanks again :)

Ah ha, another Aussie burning the Midnight Oil!

Thanks for sharing. :whistle:

Thanks for the feedback Mhz and rbhkamal.

I forgot to mention that I only write for the latest Beta Version. I am new to Autoit and I found version 3.1.1.0 too limiting. For my needs, it was not worth investing any time in it at all. I don't know why the old 3.1.1.0 is still around? Version 2 is the legacy version...

Nice job... How many times did you get lost in the code :whistle:

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

Never mind... I dwnldd 133 and it works fine. By the way, the test file "lock PC" button REALLY WORKS!...

Where do I get these three includes:

#include <GUIDefaultConstants.au3>

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>

Included in beta 131-133, etc.

Just a thought, but any way to make the msgbox scale to fit the custom buttons? If I put too much text on the buttons they end up overlapped. I did a kludge of putting 60+ spaces in front of the first line of text, but it's ugly... Just an idea...

No problem. I've edited the first post and included a check for user defined button text length.

I used 2 characters for between button space padding. Just a guess...

Let be know if it helps.

If not, please give a sample of the button text that is giving you a problem and I will look into it.

Found the answer here: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...ICtrlCreateIcon

Seems the second parameter changed in GUICtrlCreateIcon(). Icon numbers are now negative.

To make this excellent code work, modify the MsgBoxEx.au3 file like this:

Lines 305-317

If BitAND($piFlag, 48) == 48 Then
        $liIconIndex  = -2;  48x48 WinXP Icon - 48 - Exclamation
        $liIconOffset = 60
    ElseIf BitAND($piFlag, 16) == 16 Then
        $liIconIndex  = -4; 48x48 WinXP Icon - 16 - Stop Sign
        $liIconOffset = 60
    ElseIf BitAND($piFlag, 32) == 32 Then
        $liIconIndex  = -3; 48x48 WinXP Icon - 32 - Ques Mark
        $liIconOffset = 60
    ElseIf BitAND($piFlag, 64) == 64 Then
        $liIconIndex  = -5; 48x48 WinXP Icon - 64 - Information
        $liIconOffset = 60
    EndIf

Line 348

If $liIconIndex < 0 Then GUICtrlCreateIcon("user32.dll", $liIconIndex, 10, 10)

This is almost the single best improvement ive seen in the gui side of things.

It makes things look very professional indeed!

Im surprised it isnt in the latest release.
