Covert MsgBox to GUI Window

HockeyFan · January 13, 2011

Hi!

Whats the best way to convert a MsgBox prompt into a GUI control so that the GUI control acts just like the MsgBox...meaning the script waits until a button is clicked and then continues on from that point. My script currently waits at the message prompt until "Yes" or "No" is selected. Yes just continues the script and No just unhides the previous windows that was hidden.

Here is what I have currently...

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
;Main script

Func UserNameOKButton
;...do something prior
GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $UserNameInputGUI)

;  Create Yes No message prompt
$Check = MsgBox(266532,"PLEASE VERIFY!!   ","Is the User Info typed correctly?             "& @CRLF & @CRLF & "User Name:   " & $UserFullname & @CRLF & @CRLF & "AD Logon Account:   " & $ADLoginName )
   If $Check = 7 Then ;No selected
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $UserNameInputGUI)     ;unhide UserNameInputGUI window
    Return
   EndIf

;...continue doing something
EndFunc

Here is the GUI Window I would like to replace the MsgBox with...

$Form1 = GUICreate("PLEASE VERIFY", 600, 270, -1, -1, 0, BitOR($WS_EX_TOPMOST,$WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE))
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Is the User Info typed correctly?", 80, 16, 468, 33, $SS_CENTERIMAGE)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 14, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x000000)
$Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("User Name:", 80, 65, 196, 33, $SS_CENTERIMAGE)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 14, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x000000)
$Label3 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 283, 65, 284, 33, $SS_CENTERIMAGE)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 14, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x0000FF)
$Label4 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("AD Logon Account:", 80, 108, 196, 33, $SS_CENTERIMAGE)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 14, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x000000)
$Label5 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 283, 108, 284, 33, $SS_CENTERIMAGE)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 14, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xFF0000)
$ButtonYes = GUICtrlCreateButton("Yes", 136, 168, 123, 41, $WS_GROUP)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 14, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$ButtonNo = GUICtrlCreateButton("No", 311, 167, 123, 41, $WS_GROUP)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 14, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
GUISetState(@SW_HIDE)

Thanks!

HockeyFan,

Just replace the MsgBox command with a function to create a GUI which passes back a suitable value depending on the button pressed.

The ExtMsgBox UDF in my sig does exactly that if you want to take a look inside it.

Look at GUIGetMsg() in the Help and GUICreate() to get an idea of how to find out when a user clicks on the "Yes" button or $ButtonYes!

Guinness...

Here's what I've added, but its still not working. I get the GUI Window to display, but nothing happens when I click the buttons.

Func UserNameADAccountVerify()
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$UserNameADAccountVerifyForm)
While 1
  $xMsg = GUIGetMsg()
  Select
   Case $xMsg = $ButtonYes
    Return
   Case $xMsg = $ButtonNo
    GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $UserNameADAccountVerifyForm)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $UserNameInputGUI)
  EndSelect
WEnd
EndFunc

Does it matter that there is already another"While/Wend" command already in the script?

While 1
Sleep(40)  ; Idle around
WEnd

Thanks!

But I would recommend looking at Melba23's post again, because he has a brilliant MsgBox UDF which has many custom options!

M23,

I tried to look at your ExtMsgBox example but got the following error:

C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include\ExtMsgBox.au3 (30) : ==> Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.:
Global $sDef_EMB_Font_Name = $aDef_EMB_MsgBoxFont[3]
Global $sDef_EMB_Font_Name = ^ ERROR

I like what I read, so I will have to look at it later.

Thanks!

Melba23 · January 13, 2011

HockeyFan,

There is no such line in the UDF since a very early version. Did you download the zip from the first post in the topic my sig links to?

Anything else on the forum is not up-to-date. :shifty:

M23,

Yes, I downloaded the zip...but thank you for the current version via your reply!

HockeyFan,
Just replace the MsgBox command with a function to create a GUI which passes back a suitable value depending on the button pressed.
The ExtMsgBox UDF in my sig does exactly that if you want to take a look inside it.

M23,

Got it working...I LIKE IT! Thank you!! :shifty:

HockeyFan,

The version I posted is the one in the zip - I downloaded it to check. So I am now confused - not difficult I know!

Anyway - glad you like it.
