_MsgBox UDF problems

[Rawox]

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to create a messagebox using the _MsgBox UDF by jscript but my msgbox looks kinda messed up >_<

Can anyone explain why...

_MsgBox ( 64, "About " & $Title & " " & $Version, $Title & " is created by "& $AuthorFullName & " (a.k.a. " & $AuthorNickName & ")." & @CRLF & "Current version is version " & $Version & " released on " & $Release & "." );, 0, 0, "Website|Email|Close" )

What do you mean by "looks kinda messed up"?

Does it return an error message or doesn't it look the way you want it?

[Rawox]

Well, it looks like this:

I'm running AutoIt 3.3.0.0 on Windows XP SP2 German. If I use

Global $Title = "Titel"
Global $Version = "1"
Global $AuthorFullName = "Author Full Name"
Global $AuthorNickName = "Nick"
Global $Release = "0"

_MsgBox( 64, "About " & $Title & " " & $Version, $Title & " is created by "& $AuthorFullName & " (a.k.a. " & $AuthorNickName & ")." & @CRLF & "Current version is version " & $Version & " released on " & $Release & "." );, 0, 0, "Website|Email|Close" )

I get:

is it maybe because of Vista?

[water]

Unfortunately I have no Vista at hand to test. Do you have a PC with XP available?

But why don't you use the builtin "MsgBox" of AutoIt? You don't use a feature that isn't available with "MsgBox".

MsgBox (64, "About " & $Title & " " & $Version, $Title & " is created by "& $AuthorFullName & " (a.k.a. " & $AuthorNickName & ")." & @CRLF & "Current version is version " & $Version & " released on " & $Release & "." )

Damn I'm feeling stupid.

The last few things don't need to be commented.

Does this:

_MsgBox ( 64, "About " & $Title & " " & $Version, $Title & " is created by "& $AuthorFullName & " (a.k.a. " & $AuthorNickName & ")." & @CRLF & "Current version is version " & $Version & " released on " & $Release & ".", 0, 0, "Website|Email|Close" )

Also work for you??
