Create Gui With Same Height And Font As Default Msgbox?

[emendelson]

Is there a way to create a GUI that is fairly certain to have the same fonts as the default MsgBox and also the same height (for a one-line label)? I use message boxes in most of my script, but want to have a "Please wait..." message appear while the script goes through some lengthy invisible processes, and, if I understand things correctly (not necessarily the case), a GUI is required for this.

Any help gratefully received.

Create a normal meaasgebox and use the AutoIt Window Info tool to findout the sizing.

Edit - I played around and the size I get is 75 for height.

Yes, 75 looks right - many thanks for that. Now if I can figure out the algorithm that applies to the font size, centering, etc., in the standard message box, this should work out perfectly. Thanks again!
