reminder automatic shutdown

[arminius]

ok I've written this scrip, and I windows scedule set to turn it on every day, it sees the date and if it's the right date it says you have car registration that needs to be renewed in a week, but if it's a day with nothing on I want it to turn itself on, count to about 5 seconds, go nope nothing on today and turn itself off.

but if there is a message pop up I would like it to stay on indefinitly until I click ok

here is the coding

CODE

While 1

If @HOUR=20 Then

MsgBox(262144, "Reminder", "The Time Is 8PM")

Exit

EndIf

If @HOUR=23 Then

MsgBox(262144, "Reminder", "The Time Is 11PM")

Exit

EndIf

If @HOUR=00 Then

MsgBox(262144, "Reminder", "The Time Is 12AM")

Exit

EndIf

If @HOUR=02 Then

MsgBox(262144, "Reminder", "The Time Is 2AM")

Exit

EndIf

If @HOUR=03 Then

MsgBox(262144, "Reminder", "The Time Is 3AM")

Exit

EndIf

If @HOUR=04 Then

MsgBox(262144, "Reminder", "The Time Is 4AM")

Exit

EndIf

If @HOUR=06 Then

MsgBox(262144, "Reminder", "The Time Is 6AM")

Exit

EndIf

Sleep(400)

WEnd

so as you can see, if it turns on at 8pm and I get home at 9AM the next morning I want the reminder to still say the time is 8PM, but if it turns itself on at 9PM, it checks, sees nothing is going on then turns itself off, saving processing power.

is this possible? I've tried a few things none worked

can't understand the whole you mean, but

if it turns on at 8pm and I get home at 9AM the next morning I want the reminder to still say the time is 8PM, but if it turns itself on at 9PM, it checks, sees nothing is going on then turns itself off, saving processing power.

select
case @HOUR=20 then
$log=FileOpen("StartLog.txt",1)
FileWrite($log,@HOUR);write 20 in the StartLog.txt for read in the next 9AM
FileClose($log)

case @HOUR=21
if WinExists("Untitled -") then;check if some window with title "untitled -" exist
msgbox(64,"","chao buoi sang")
else
sleep(5000);sleep 5 secs
exit
endif

endselect

and ... use FileReadLine() to read StartLog.txt, it will stay 20

for that coding sorry

I got a

for that coding sorry

ah , sorry, at first , i was going to use IF but i think select would be easier

case @HOUR=20

I'm sorry I know your trying to help, but I don't see how this coding you've done has anything to do with what the goal of the script is?

I can turn it off by clicking ok, I just want it to turn itself off if there is no relevant reason to activate a msgbox

[d4rk]

so what's the relevant reason to activate a msgbox ?

[arminius]

the correct time in which it's told to

if it's set to go of at say 2200 it get's turned on by the hourly scedule, see it's 2200 and displays the message

if it's any other time it goes nope nothing for me to do and turns itself off
