Do something while n msgbox is displayed

[PcExpert]

Hi all,

How can I let the script do something while an msgbox is displayed?

I tried this:

while MsgBox(64, "test", "test")

Run("notepad.exe")

WinWaitActive("Naamloos - Kladblok")

Send("yreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeefddddddddddddddddddfdgwrgwgwrgwrgwrgwrg")

WEnd

But that didnt work. Any Ideas? Thanks!

Easy answer is you cannot.

You can do what you are describing with a GUI that you create.

The msgbox is just a small gui... so if you make your own, you could have your own code running while its up

Put it in a func ;example

instead of a action being done and sending

CODE

Msgbox(64,'test','test')

;

;Just send

;

Mes()

and add func

CODE

func Mes()

MsgBox(64, "test", "test")

Run("notepad.exe")

WinWaitActive("Naamloos - Kladblok")

Send("yreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeefddddddddddddddddddfdgwrgwgwrgwrgwrgwrg")

endfunc

PS i suck at codeboxes

@lordicast, sorry but that does not help the problem, now the msgbox just hangs in the function...

He is looking for a way to execute code while the msgbox is up I believe, and to do that you need to make your own GUI

Works just fine for me.

Func Mes()
MsgBox(64,'test','test')
run('notepad.exe')
WinWaitActive('Untitled - Notepad')
Send("yreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeefddddddddddddddddddfdgwrgwgwrgwrgwrgwrg")
EndFunc

But I think if a Msgbox is up you cant get to anything else on the gui till you closed it right, so its gonna close at one point then why not send somthing after the box is closed. makes sense

Your function just does the same thing his script does... it waits until AFTER the msgbox is gone to continue...

No it does not do what he wants.

He wants a message box to be up, and to perform lines of code WHILE the msgbox is up... your code does NOT do that.

This was the solution from my previous post:

Run(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteLine  "If MsgBox(262209,''Ready to Re-Start'',''The Installation is completed and ready to re-start.     '' & @CRLF & @CRLF & ''Press OK to restart now.'' & @CRLF & @CRLF) = 1 Then Shutdown(6)"')
