Edit 2: Complete rewrite of the function, simplified version using a single function and without use of GUICtrlSetOnEvent or AutoItSetOption. Correct centering of message.

Edit 1: Updated function to correct possible misbehaving AutoItSetOption.

MsgBox with Visual CountDown

Self-explanatory I guess...

Looks good, and seems to work. :)

I was of the understanding that Opt commands are set at compile time, and cannot be enabled/disabled multiple times throughout a program.  For instance, I'm betting that since Opt("GUIOnEventMode",1) call is the first one the compiler sees in the code, that option is stuck on, and not actually disabled by the subsequent Opt("GUIOnEventMode",0) calls.

OK guinness, but I think SlowCoder74 has a point here. Not so smart from me to change opt and assuming it is 0...

 

Looks good, and seems to work. :)

I was of the understanding that Opt commands are set at compile time, and cannot be enabled/disabled multiple times throughout a program.  For instance, I'm betting that since Opt("GUIOnEventMode",1) call is the first one the compiler sees in the code, that option is stuck on, and not actually disabled by the subsequent Opt("GUIOnEventMode",0) calls.

Hi SlowCoder74

As guinness already replied, you can change opt commands as many times as you like but I admit that changing opt in a function is not the smartest approach, I should have coded the udf slower ;) and think how to do it correctly.

So I should have coded like this

First line:

Local $_GUIOnEventMode = Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

Before RETURN:

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", $_GUIOnEventMode)

Return ...

I will change the example accordingly

There's another issue with the udf. I am not very satisfied with the message label which is right aligned.  If the message size changes, it runs into problem (not centered or don't fit), I split up the label message/counter to avoid flickering (by updating only the counter), but with annoying side effects.

Thanks

Read the help file. Opt returns the previous value, so record that and reset when the MsgBox function exists. Though as MsgBox is a blocking function surely GUIGetMsg() would be better suited?

Yes, absolutely.

Is there a way to use this script to reboot a pc/server at the end of the countdown or when or if the ok button is selected???

Would this also be able to be deployed with a user logged in or no user logged in???

​Yes, of course,

Use Shutdown (2) - for other options, see help file

A MsgBox doesn't make sense if the user is logged out, but I guess it should be possible, for sure when the script is running and the desktop is locked by the user, the script just continues to run. After the timeout period, the PC will reboot.

      InetRead Prevent Hang Script?
      By Blueman
      Hi all,
      I was wondering if you can help me with the function called; InetRead().
      My scripts are using this function a lot for several conditions and everything works fine!
      But sometimes when the server is a little bit buggy of simply not available my script is hanging.
      It takes about 90sec before this function returns a Timeout, when i adjust the parameter it still is hanging about 90sec.
      The following script is a example where the script is hanging for aprox. 90sec;
      ; Set Timeout to 2sec AutoItSetOption ("TCPTimeout", 2000) ; Read Website InetRead("http://www.geenverbinding.nl/",1) ; Show Msgbox before Ending Script. Msgbox(64,"","Finished")  
      The following script is a example where the script show the Msgbox pretty fast;

       
      ; Set Timeout to 2sec AutoItSetOption ("TCPTimeout", 2000) ; Read Website InetRead("http://www.google.nl/",1) ; Show Msgbox before Ending Script. Msgbox(64,"","Finished")  
      My question now is, what am i doing wrong and/or is there a other way to prevent Hanging the script?
      Thanks all

      Hello,
      as a start in Autoit i tried something i was missing since im using Autoit. 

      I build a custom MessageBox which has a large amount of custom options and which scales its size on the parameters you set. 

      Aviable Settings:
      -Title
      -Unlimited Buttons
      -Text Color (Buttons, Text)

      -Background Color (Msgbox, Buttons, Label) 

      -Button Timeout
      -Autoclose Timeout
      -Icon (Default, No Icon, Custom)

      -Label/ Button Style. 
      -Transparency

      I tried to keep this as close as i could to a Msgbox i was used too on my batch times.

      After i was ready i realised, @Melba23 probably build a way better msgbox which would have suit my needs enterly, anyway thanks to @Melba23 because i use his Stringsize UDF. 

       
       
      local $Message = _sMsgBox("Test", 6, "Continue?") if @extended <> -1 Then MsgBox(0, @extended, $Message&" Button pressed")

      How do you view an "Attribute" in MsgBox [Solved]
      By SkysLastChance
      I am having a hard time understanding why this is not working. I was hoping some one could help explain it to me. 
      $tags = $oIE.document.GetElementsByTagName("input") For $tag in $tags $class_value = $tag.GetAttribute("class") If string($class_value) = "fTs-p3298-l0 wplEditControl" Then $target = $tag ExitLoop EndIF Next MsgBox(0,"",$target) If $target = "fTs-p3298-l0 wplEditControl" THEN MsgBox(0,"","itworked") I have tried 
       MsgBox(0,"",$target.Attribute)  MsgBox(0,"",$target.Value)  MsgBox(0,"",$target.InnerText) I would expect to see this in the msgbox
      fTs-p3298-l0 wplEditControl

      HookDlgBox UDF
      By funkey
      Hello,
      it's quite often, that someone asks how to change the texts of the MsgBox buttons or the InputBox buttons or how to change the position of ta MsgBox. Since years I use CBT hooks for that, but now I made a small UDF out of it for the ease of use. Of course you can build your own GUI or use already existing UDFs to do the same, but I like this way and you can hack (hook) the inbuild InputBox.
