Create an alert with AutoIt

[apitos]

Good morning all,

How could I create an alert using AutoIt language?

For example, at a specific time, saying 3:00 p.m., and for 5 days a week, a message is displayed on the screen.

I'm sorry, English is not my mother tongue.

Thank you.

apitos,

Welcome to the AutoIt forums.

Look in the Helpfile for the @MDAY, @HOUR and @MIN macros - then create a loop (While...WEnd) to check the current day of the week and time (If...Then...EndIf). When all the conditions are met create a GUI (GUICreate).

Have a go yourself and come back if you run into problems.

I personally would go with the task scheduler instead of having an ongoing process running all the time just to check if it is time (or not) on the right day.  Just create a small script that would display whatever you want, compile it, enter task scheduler and inscribe the right parameters. Voilà !

Instead of GUICreate() you may use SplashTextOn(). 

That is much more simple and for simple texts it can be sufficient, especialy for AutoIt's beginners.

If you go with @water's OutlookxxxUDFs you can insert your alert into Outlook, and Microsoft will take care of it for you.
