Declare MsgBox variable for later use

[thecakeisalie]

Hello everyone, just had a quick question. I've already searched the help file and forums regarding this question and was not able to find anything. I am sure someone has encountered this before. Perhaps it is the way I have worded it, but I having a bit of a problem. I was wondering if a MsgBox could be declared in a variable for later use? Currently, my script looks like this:

$domain = @LogonDomain
$add_to_domain= MsgBox(4, "Hey, listen!", "This computer is not in the domain, would you like to add it now?")

#cs
      code
#ce

If $domain <> "MYDOMAIN" Then

    If $add_to_domain == 6 Then
           ;more code

    Else
            ;more code
  
    EndIf
EndIf

The problem is, the MsgBox pops up as soon as it is declared. Would I have to create another function in order for this to work? It is more of a preference thing for me if I have to use the same MsgBox more than once. Any help would be much appreciate, thanks for your time.

MsgBox is the name of an AutoIt function. That means it is executed where you place it in your code. What you can "declare in a variable for later use" are the parameters for function MsgBox.

Something like:

Global $iMB_Flag = 4
Global $sMB_Title = "Hey,listen!"
Global $sMB_Text = "This computer is not in the domain, would you like to add it now?"
;more code
MsgBox($iMB_Flag, $sMB_Title, $sMB_Text)

Thanks for the reply That makes way more sense to do it that way.
