Simple Message Box script


Recommended Posts

I am trying to include a simple message box to prompt our users to restart their pc after IE 10 has been installed that will give them a choice of whether allow the user to either click yes to reboot now or have them click no and the PC will reboot after 8 hours or what ever time frame. I am not understanding why it will not display the Yes or No prompt. I only am having this issue after installign the latest version of autoit. Any advice autoit team? Greatly appreciated, thank you.

#NoTrayIcon
#RequireAdmin

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

MsgBox(48 ,"XXX Organization", " Attention Internet Explorer 10 has been installed. Please restart your PC when possible so your browser can be fully upgraded. If you decline now after 8 hours the PC will reboot on its own", 4, 100)

rbenner1184,

Because you are not asking it to display those buttons. You are only using flag 48 ($MB_ICONWARNING) - you need to add in $MB_YESNO (4) to get the buttons. :)

And the same was true in earlier versions, so that excuse will not work. ;)

Ok thanks I'll try that. I thought before though that the

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> was not needed though. I may be wrong though.

It's not needed because you're not using the variables, you're using their values in your snippet.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

Switch Int(MsgBox(4,"something","Restart Now",4))
    Case 6 ; Yes
        MsgBox(1,1,"add shutdown.exe call for 30 seconds")
    Case Else
        MsgBox(1,1,"add shutdown.exe call for 8 hours")
EndSwitch

jdelaney, why are you using Int with the return from MsgBox, the function only returns integers?
