longxx 0 Posted August 22, 2010 Hi All: I have tried to search about this, but no luck, so here it is: My script has an instruction window, which I want to use MsgBox to show it, so user could close the window by clicking the "OK" button I also tried SplashtextOn, but downside of that is it doesn't allow a "CLOSE" button to close the window, has to be done with a hotkey I prefer the MsgBox method, but while the MsgBox is open, I realized all my hotkey / functions stop working, have to close the MsgBox in order to move on ----which concludes to my questions... how to make hotkey/functions work while MsgBox is open? Or what's a better way to show an instruction window while keeping my hotkeys / While--End functions work? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

longxx 0 Posted August 22, 2010 Yashield thanks for the suggestion, I just tested, I figured the MsgBox still conflicts with While 1 / WEnd command. Means when the MsgBox is on, the program won't further execute the While loop How do I get around this? What's better way to display a message window?

Bert 1,430 Posted August 22, 2010 A simple thing to do is make a second script that has the msgbox in it. Just do a RUN(yourcompiledmsgboxscript.exe) to make the msgbox appear. The Vollatran project My blog: http://www.vollysinterestingshit.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yashied 240 Posted August 22, 2010 What's better way to display a message window? Another process. If ($CmdLine[0]) And ($CmdLine[1] = '/msgbox') Then MsgBox(16, 'MsgBox', 'Simple Text') Exit EndIf If @compiled Then Run(@ScriptFullPath & ' /msgbox') Else Run(@AutoItExe & ' "' & @ScriptFullPath & '" /msgbox') EndIf $Count = 0 While 1 ConsoleWrite($Count & @CR) $Count += 1 Sleep(1000) WEnd My UDFs:iKey | FTP Uploader | Battery Checker | Boot Manager | Font Viewer | UDF Keyword Manager | Run Dialog Replacement | USBProtect | 3D Axis | Calculator | Sleep | iSwitcher | TM | NetHelper | File Types Manager | Control Viewer | SynFolders | DLL HelperAnimated Tray Icons UDF Library | Hotkeys UDF Library | Hotkeys Input Control UDF Library | Caret Shape UDF Library | Context Help UDF Library | Most Recently Used List UDF Library | Icons UDF Library | FTP UDF Library | Script Communications UDF Library | Color Chooser UDF Library | Color Picker Control UDF Library | IPHelper (Vista/7) UDF Library | WinAPI Extended UDF Library | WinAPIVhd UDF Library | Icon Chooser UDF Library | Copy UDF Library | Restart UDF Library | Event Log UDF Library | NotifyBox UDF Library | Pop-up Windows UDF Library | TVExplorer UDF Library | GuiHotKey UDF Library | GuiSysLink UDF Library | Package UDF Library | Skin UDF Library | AITray UDF Library | RDC UDF LibraryAppropriate path | Button text color | Gaussian random numbers | Header's styles (Vista/7) | ICON resource enumeration | Menu & INI | Tabbed string size | Tab's skin | Pop-up circular menu | Progress Bar without animation (Vista/7) | Registry export | Registry path jumping | Unique hardware ID | Windows alignmentMore...
