My script using inputbox is not working...

[Chuckconnor]

I am trying to get some simple input from a user.

I'm trying to use the inputbox() function.  It was working and then it stopped.

I've included the code below.  I've tried it interpreted and compiled and on multiple machines with the same result it displays the msgbox, but never the inputbox.

Oh my dev system is a Dell m6800 laptop, running windows 8.1 enterprise

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
Local $sAnswer

;$sAnswer = InputBox("Backup Single User by ID", "Enter User ID of Single User to Migrate?", "", "", -1, -1,-1, -1, 30)

$sAnswer = InputBox("TITLE", "Type Something","","",-1, -1, -1, -1 )

MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", $sAnswer)

Why all the stuff after your prompt?

This seems to work just fine"

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
Local $sAnswer
$sAnswer = InputBox("TITLE", "Type Something")
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", $sAnswer)

Don't know why but I copied your code and it works fine on my system.

I'm not sure why my code won't.

I think its something in the options I'm trying to use.  I want it to time out at 30 seconds if no answer.

When I take out all of the options my code works fine.

OK, you have to replace the last two -1's with "Default"

Like this

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Local $sAnswer

$sAnswer = InputBox("TITLE", "","", "" ,-1,-1,Default,Default, 30 )

MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", $sAnswer)
