How can I make this msg box timeout + reloop?

[muzle6074]

$c=5

$i=5

While $i>0

MsgBox(0, "", $c, 1000)

$c=$c-1

$i=$i-1

WEnd

I want a basic msgbox to go:

5

4

3

2

1

in seconds. How can I do this? I thought 1000 = 1 second timeout? Wasnt working for me

Any help appreciated!

timeout [optional] Timeout in seconds. After the timeout has elapsed the message box will be automatically closed.

It would take a lot less time to read the help than to post the question. The help file says

timeout [optional] Timeout in seconds.

so how did you conclude it was in mS????

Search for MsgBoxEx and you will find versions wich can display a countdown.

@martin, what is this "help" file you speak of and where can I find it?

Ah, I hadn't thought of that.

When you install AutoIt you will find help file in the install folder, usually ?:/Program Files/AutoIt3 and in the Beta folder ?:/Program Files/AutoIt3/Beta.

If you use Scite (highly recommended text editor) then F1 opens the AutoIt help.
