MsgBoxes won't timeout with the Yes/No option?

[Sunblood]

I don't know if this is a bug or a feature, but message boxes won't close automatically when timing out if you have Yes/No buttons. It works fine with just the OK button, but I want to use Yes/No buttons with my timeout.

check your syntaxes....

MsgBox(4, "title", "text", 5)

Does NOT work:

$m = MsgBox(36, "New torrent!", "Old torrent: " & $old & @CRLF & "New torrent: " & $new & @CRLF & "Download this torrent?", 15)

DOES work:

$m = MsgBox(0, "New torrent!", "Old torrent: " & $old & @CRLF & "New torrent: " & $new & @CRLF & "Download this torrent?", 15)

Also, I know a LITTLE bit more about AI3 than you might think I do... Screwing up a MsgBox syntax is not something I'm likely to do.

Here's the whole script. It's designed to get the latest torrent from SuperTorrents and start it up if I want it to.

expandcollapse popup

#include <IE.au3>

$time = 5 * 60 * 1000
$old = ""
$new = ""
$downloaded = "No"

While 1
    Tip("Checking for new torrents...")
    $ie = _IECreate("http://www.supertorrents.org/browse.php", 0, 0, 1)
    $links = _IELinkGetCollection($ie, 69)
    If IsObj($links) Then
        If $links.outertext <> $old Then
            Tip("New torrent found!")
            $new = $links.outertext
            $m = MsgBox(36, "New torrent!", "Old torrent: " & $old & @CRLF & "New torrent: " & $new & @CRLF & "Download this torrent?", 2)
            If $m = 7 Then
                $downloaded = "Yes"
                $torrent = _IELinkGetCollection($ie, 70)
                $torrent = $torrent.href
                $a = StringSplit($torrent, "/")
                $filename = $a[$a[0]]
                InetGet($torrent, "C:\Jack\Torrents\Torrent Files\New\" & $filename)
                ShellExecute ("C:\Jack\Torrents\Torrent Files\New\" & $filename)
                WinSetState("µTorrent", "", @SW_MINIMIZE)
            ElseIf $m = 6 Then
                $downloaded = "No"
            ElseIf $m = -1 Then
                FileWrite("missed.txt", $new & " - " & @HOUR & ":" & @MIN & " " & @MON & "/" & @MDAY & "/" & @YEAR & @CRLF)
            EndIf
            $old = $links.outertext
            $new = ""
        EndIf
        _IEQuit($ie)
    EndIf
    TipOff()
    Sleep($time)
WEnd

Func Tip($text)
;ToolTip($text&@CRLF&"Last torrent: "&$old&@CRLF&"Downloaded: "&$downloaded,0,0)
EndFunc  ;==>Tip
Func TipOff()
    ToolTip("")
EndFunc  ;==>TipOff

I confirm. Seems like you found a bug with timeout with yes/no abort/retry/ignoreoption of Msgbox.

MsgBox(4, "title", @AutoItVersion, 1)

v3.2.1.11 does not timeout.

v3.2.1.1 does timeout. v3.2.0.1 does timeout.

Edit:

Incorrect version correction
