Recommended Posts

I am trying to create a MsgBox that would give you OK and cancel, but depending on which you choose it do different things. for instance if you choose OK then it restarts computer if you choose cancel it logs off computer. If you could provide an example it would be great, but Any help is appreciated.

the MsgBox code Im using is

MsgBox(1, "Attention", "Press OK to restart or CANCEL To Logoff")

lucarim,

First, welcome to the Autoit forums. :)

This is one of the ways to do what you want:

$iResult = MsgBox(1, "Attention", "Press OK to restart or CANCEL To Logoff")

Switch $iResult
    Case 1  ; look at MsgBox in the Help file to see which buttons give which return value
        ; restart code goes here
    Case 2
        ; Logoff code goes here
EndSwitch

As a beginner, reading the Help file (at least the first few sections - Using AutoIt, Tutorials and the first couple of References) will help you enormously. You should also look at the excellent tutorials that you will find here and here. There are even video tutorials on YouTube if you do not like reading - and one of them actually does what you wanted to do!

I you have downloaded the customised version of SciTe SciTE4AutoIt3 which is highly recommended, it comes with the CodeWizard tool which can help you create the code for things like MsgBox without having to remember what all the options and parameters are.
