How to track what button is pressed in MsgBox control

[JohnRichard]

hi. forgive if i'm out of idea. i just want to track which button is pressed on a message box. then from that button i will execute a command using if and then statement.

say i have this code:

$msg = MsgBox(36, "Exit", "Are you sure you want exit?")
        

    If $msg Then
                
    ....(Statement)
                 Else
                 ....(Statement)

    EndIf

Hi John,

Try to see in help file the extended error codes of msgbox command

And error doesn't mean BAD errors, there are also good errors ...

The number is RETURNED from the MsgBox() function, there are no errors. If you provide the optional timeout and no button is pressed before timeout expires, then -1 is returned, but there is still no value in @error.

While 1
    $iRET = MsgBox(36, "Test", "Click YES or NO within 10 seconds...", 10)
    Switch $iRET
        Case - 1
            MsgBox(64, "Results", "Timeout!  Returned value = -1")
        Case 6
            MsgBox(64, "Results", "Yes!  Returned value = 6")
        Case 7
            MsgBox(64, "Results", "No!  Returned value = 7")
        Case Else
            MsgBox(16, "Error!", "Unhandled case!  Returned value = " & $iRET)
    EndSwitch
    If MsgBox(36, "Continue?", "Want to try again?", 10) <> 6 Then ExitLoop
WEnd
