Customize Message Box

[Kurto2021]

Is there a way to create a message box that I can then say "Execute A", "Execute B", or "Execute C" instead of the default options that a message box gives?

See guicreate function and add some buttons...

Kurto2021,

Look at the ExtMsgBox UDF in my sig.

Melba thanks for the info...seems like it might be beyond my comprehension at this point in time but I am going to try and go through it.

You know where I am if you need help.

I have torn it apart and started to figure it out....I basically shoehorned in your 2 files into my existing code and edited the pick list options and it working as desired. This damn forum amazes me every time.

Thanks

Kurto2021,

shoehorned in your 2 files into my existing code

Why not leave it as an include?

#include <ExtMsgBox.au3>

_ExtMsgBoxSet(0, 0, 0xFFCCCC, 0x008000)
Switch _ExtMsgBox(0, "Execute A|Execute B|Execute C", "Chooser", "What do you want to execute?")
    Case 1
        MsgBox(0, "Answer", "You pressed A")
    Case 2
        MsgBox(0, "Answer", "You pressed B")
    Case 3
        MsgBox(0, "Answer", "You pressed C")
EndSwitch

Seems simpler that way to me.

that is pretty much what I did...I just used your files and got it to do what I wanted.....as I go through your files more I will learn more and more.

Kurto2021,

It was just that "shoehorned in your 2 files into my existing code" made me think that you had acted differently.

Do not hesitate to ask if you have any difficulties following any of the code.

Hi, Kurto2021

Here is an example using a hook message into the MsgBox so you can use the "Msgbox" instruction, no need to create a Gui and Buttons.

The return ID for Execute A B C will either be 3,4,or 5.

It is not to hard to figure out how it works, go and have some fun with it.
