Msgbox Types

[Roman9]

I'm trying to make a script that goes through all the MsgBox types 1 by one until 70.

So instead of doing:

MsgBox(1, msgbox1, msgbox1)
MsgBox(2, msgbox2, msgbox2)
MsgBox(3, msgbox3, msgbox3)
MsgBox(4, msgbox4, msgbox4)
MsgBox(5, msgbox5, msgbox5)
...
MsgBox(70, msgbox70, msgbox70)

I tried doing:

Global $count1 = 1
Global $title = 1

MsgBox($count1, $title, $count1)

While 1
    If $count1 < 70 Then
        $count1 = $count1 + 1
    Else
        Exit
    EndIf
WEnd

This dosn't go past the first message box and I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

Thanks for your time.

Place the message box in the loop so it posts the message box more then once.

You might also want to look at For loops, which are ideal for these jobs.

Global $count1 = 1
Global $title = 1

While 1
    If $count1 < 70 Then
        $count1 = $count1 + 1
    Else
        Exit
    EndIf
    MsgBox($count1, $title, $count1)
WEnd

Thanks. I'll look them up now.

You might want to make the msgox go at the top of the loop, and so you son't have to click it, do a script like this.

Global $count1 = 1
Global $title = 1


While 1
MsgBox($count1, $title, $count1,3)
    If $count1 < 70 Then
        $title = $title + 1
        $count1 = $count1 + 1
    Else
        Exit
    EndIf
WEnd

This displays each MSGbox for 3 secs the continues so you dont have to click 70 times

That's really cool, thanks!

For $i = 1 To 70
    MsgBox($i, $i, $i, 3)
Next

Several ways to do that.... not all numbers will show a MsgBox.

I know... this was a test to see which messageboxes do and what they do.

Reading the helpfile under MsgBox would do that too. Then you could try the specific values.

I know...

...just going from your 10 lines of code to my suggested 3 lines :-)

I liked your test... some of those I had never bothered to look at before.

For $i = 1 To $i + 1
    MsgBox($i, $i, $i, 1)
Next

Don't Run this without a hotkey exit! (or exit with the bottem icon)

This would piss me off....

I see what you were trying to do there, but in case you didn't notice, the upper bound of a For loop doesn't change while the loop is in progress. In other words, this will only show 2 msgboxes and then exit.
