WiseGuy Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Hello and thank you for reading my question. I have made a small program that automates basically a bunch of clicking and towards that end I have made it without a GUI. The functions are activated through the press of a hotkey. Now due to the "lack" of a GUI I want to show a message box when my application starts that tells you what button does what. So I want to format it like the following for clarity: |-------------------------------------------------| | Hello welcome to my program: | | | | Button W does this | | Button X does that | | Button Y does such | | Button Z does so | | [OK] | |-------------------------------------------------| Can I achieve this in AutoIt (So that my message box looks like this)? PS: Props for ASCII art? Ok apperantly ascii art isnt allowed lol Edited March 12, 2012 by WiseGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiseGuy Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 At the others, I've taken a good look at Melba's msgbox but it is a bit overkill for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
