Make a GUI and set state as Hide and Show really fast

[star2]

check this example

#include <Misc.au3>
$dll = DllOpen ("user32.dll")
Do
MsgBox (-1,"test","test",1)
Sleep (500)
Until _IsPressed (71 , $dll)
DllClose($dll)

when MSGBOX starts flashing and u want to stop keep on pressing F2

is this what u need or what?

u could use this code

- gsglive

Do
    $msg = MsgBox (0, "!", "Text", 10)
until $msg = 1

That is pretty good gsglive.

You might want to lower the timeout to 1 second:

Do
    $msg = MsgBox(0, "!", "Text", 1)
    Sleep(200)
Until $msg = 1

Or, if you want the Uber-cool flashing GUI:

#include <guiconstants.au3>

Opt("GuiOnEventMode", 1)

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test Message", 300, 80)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("This is a flashing message!", 10, 10, 280, 20, $SS_CENTER)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "_Quit")
GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 120, 40, 60, 30)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "_Quit")
GUISetState()
$Trans = 100
$Incr = 10
While 1
    If $Trans > 245 Or $Trans < 100 Then $Incr = $Incr * -1
    $Trans += $Incr
    WinSetTrans("Test Message", "This is a flashing", $Trans)
    Sleep(50)
WEnd

Func _Quit()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_Quit

Edit: Tweaked the flash to fade.

If you are having trouble getting the user to pay attention to the msgbox...

...then run the code in this post:
