MrChris Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 (edited) In looking at the help for the MSGBOX function I did not find an answer for what I was after. How would I display a MSGBOX and still have the script continue without closing the MSGBOX until the script has finished? Or would it be better to use the progress bar? Many thanks, MrChris Edited September 4, 2006 by MrChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrChris Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 Thanks for the help SmOke_N yet again. Let me rephrase the question a little. My MSGBOX does not ask a yes or no question but rather a OK button to continue. I know how to make the script continue after pressing OK but was hoping there was a way I would be able to have some type of Message be displayed while something is happening in the backround per my script. In other words I have my script use the RunWait function with the SW_HIDE option and it sometimes takes about a minute or so for it to continue and was hopeing to notify the user that it is working and to be paitent and then notify them when it is done or something to that nature. Hope this makes a little more sense. MrChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcal Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Yeah... but that was the standard answer 6 months ago I've only been around here for about a month, so I'm still catching up on standard responses.
