please added next parameters for MsgBox - position message window to screen

MsgBox ( flag, "title", "text", [timeout], "xpos", "ypos" )

or

MsgBox ( flag, "title", "text", "xpos", "ypos", [timeout] )

Autoit3 is best   

was already proposed to Jon will see if it react on this new ask

I don't want to change all my scripts, I would suggest:
MsgBox ( flag, "title", "text" [, timeout] [, xpos ][, ypos ] )

Agreed!! It is a feature I would seldom, if ever, use. I use the default center position and I would hate to change all of the scripts at this point. Adding the parameters at the end of the string would be a better choice. I would also like to see the ability to set the size of MsgBox (also added to the end).

That the reason the proposal was with timeout optional at the end
it is part to the dbg-bastard stuff on Yahoo. Perhaps I will update it and put it as for the AutoItV2toV3 under www.hiddensoft.com at least the help file

I'd like to see this done also.

Thanks.

Hi to all!
I think that also in this function must be a $Hwnd param:

MsgBox ( flag, "title", "text" [, timeout] [, xpos ][, ypos ][, Hwnd])

It is possible to do this as UDf func, provided by amel27 (from topic about AutoIt on OSzone forum) :

Func _MsgBox ($MsgBoxType, $MsgBoxTitle, $MsgBoxText, $mainGUI)
    $ret = DllCall ("user32.dll", "int", "MessageBox", _
    "hwnd", $mainGUI, _
    "str", $MsgBoxText , _
    "str", $MsgBoxTitle, _
    "int", $MsgBoxType)
    Return $ret [0]
EndFunc

But it will be great if the original function will have this extension . Thanx!

Also it will be great if the MsgBox will have more buttons - for example, a buttons "Yes to All" and "No to All". It will be usefull with Delete/Move/Copy operations (using in GUI program).

Because now i don't see any way to show MsgBox with 4 buttons (no mather what text on them), except build a msgbox from GUI

If you want different text on a standard msgbox then visit here.

As for the postional parameters, they are adnormal and should not be considered. The only missing parameter to make Msgbox whole seems to be the HWnd parameter.

I have seen this, thanks... but what i mean, is to have more then 3 buttons, so if i want to copy files, and ask user for choose "Yes" (meaning delete current file), "No" (meaning not delete current file), "Yes to All" (meaning delete all files), and "Cancel" (meaning not delete all next files) - and even more then 4 buttons, needed button for "Not to All" so program will "know" that there is no need to replace (if the operation is replacing files, not deleting) all files with the same name.

And yes, hWnd param needed, and the xPos/yPos to, because somtimes you like to show the msgbox at center of your program, not at center of the screen.

I realize that all this can be done by this way or another, but it will be much practical if the built-in function will have this parameters (AFAIK: built-in functions much faster then UDFs ).

Trick that can work sometimes is to hold down the shift key on some dialogs and such as the OS picks it up as the yes/no to all.

If Msgboxes appear where ever they like then I would consider my system possessed by alien gremlins. Not normal at all to have them have a mind of their own when popping up. The centre of the screen gets maximun attention.

Thats is just my view. If gremlins were good then MS would have added them in as default for us.

Some time ago - I created this.

enhanced MsgBox, _MsgBox and _Menu included in Menu.au3

It might help.
