MsgBox isn't displaying correctly

[Docfxit]

I have a MsgBox that isn't displaying what I asked for.  Could someone please try to figure out what I am doing wrong?

#include <Array.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>
#include <WinAPIDiag.au3>
#include <WinAPIConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <Windows Firewall.au3>

_RunCommonCode()

$sTitle = "ScanFiles"
While $TryThisAgin = 0
    $TryThisAgin = 1
    DriveMapGet("L:")
    If @error = 1 Then
        If Not @Compiled Then MsgBox(262144, 'TestBox', "After DriveMapGet " & "@error = " & @error & @CRLF & "Line Called From = " & $LineCalledFrom = @ScriptLineNumber)
    EndIf
WEnd


Func _RunCommonCode()
    Global $iError = 0, $iExtended = 0, $TryThisOnce = 0, $TryThisAgin = 0, $ProgramFiles = ""
    Global $tText = DllStructCreate("char Text[4096]")
    Global $pText = DllStructGetPtr($tText), $sMessage = "<None>"
    Global $LineCalledFrom = @ScriptLineNumber
    AutoItSetOption("TrayIconDebug", 1) ;0-off
    ; Set so that tray displays current line number
    If @OSVersion = 'Win_7' Then
        $ProgramFiles = "C:\Programs\"
    Else
        $ProgramFiles = "C:\Program Files\"
    EndIf

    ;AutoIt_Debugger_Command:Enable_Debug
EndFunc   ;==>_RunCommonCode

This is what the Msgbox looks like:

Thank you,

"After DriveMapGet " & "@error = " & @error & @CRLF & "Line Called From = " & $LineCalledFrom = @ScriptLineNumber

is being interpreted as an expression because of the "=".

Try:

If Not @Compiled Then MsgBox(262144, 'TestBox', "After DriveMapGet " & "@error = " & @error & @CRLF & "Line Called From = " & @ScriptLineNumber)

Docfxit,

You need to put quotes around the final "=" - at the moment you are displaying the result of an expression:

If Not @Compiled Then MsgBox(262144, 'TestBox', "After DriveMapGet " & "@error = " & @error & @CRLF & "Line Called From = " & $LineCalledFrom & "=" & @ScriptLineNumber)

Try:

If Not @Compiled Then MsgBox(262144, 'TestBox', "After DriveMapGet " & "@error = " & @error & @CRLF & "Line Called From = " & @ScriptLineNumber)

 

That worked supper.

Thank you very very much.

what are all the flags in 262144 ? It may hold key to the problem.

According to the help file:

$MB_TOPMOST     262144  MsgBox() has top-most attribute set

Your question is one of the reasons why Guinness inists on using the constant names and not the numeric ("magic") numbers.

Thanks for the reply...

This didn't work.

See above post that did work.

Thanks,

A tip for the future:

"Doesn't work" doesn't help very much

Please describe what you get and what you expected. The screenshot in the OP was a good try

Does he insist because the number is not obvious?

What is Top-most?

I have often wondered what the different MsgBox flags do.  I was thinking of writing a script with different examples to remind me what they do.  Do you know of a script that would do that?

Thanks,

I didn't know how else to describe it in the title.  In the body I could have given an example of what I expected but I thought it was pretty obvious.

Thanks for the comment.
