Palmerj Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Hello, Wondering if there is an elegang way to display a system modal dialog with a dynamic countdown that does not cause the dialog box to refresh. The following works, but flashes every time the counter changes, which is annoying: ; Countdown loop $secsRemain = 90 While $secsRemain > 0 $ret = MsgBox(4160,"Countdown", "Seconds remaining until system restart: "& $secsRemain, 1) If $ret = 1 Then ExitLoop EndIf $secsRemain = $secsRemain - 1 WEnd Suggestions greatly appreciated.
