MsgBox(*,'','')

[Wolvereness]

Okay, I couldn't write a program in c++ to save my life but I like AutoIt and want it imrpoved so please bare with me.

MsgBox(*,'','')

First glance, very simple.

Second glance, each flag is done in a simple hexidecimal syntax. Goes to the place-value 6. All of them are in very proper order from place value 1 to place value 6 (except right justify).

My questions are, why doesn't right justify work (also on this matter why does the hex get scrambled place values).

Secondly, why airnt the numbers parsed in the help file via hexidecimal // A section for advanced users explaining this easier form of msgbox-flags?

For the main reason I posted in this forum, are there and what are the extra flags not (used/shown)?

We could add a third column to the docs (either at beginning, middle, or end) with the hex flags.

Also, the right-justify does have a typo and should be 524288.

Okay, right now i'm writing a MsgBoxConstants, I was wondering if AutoIt had hex values for:

MB_HELP

MB_DEFBUTTON4

MB_DEFAULT_DESKTOP_ONLY

MB_RTLREADING

MB_SETFOREGROUND

MB_SERVICE_NOTIFICATION

MB_SERVICE_NOTIFICATION_NT3X

I know little of anything other then AutoIt, I did a few searches for those but I coudln't find any.

This should be right, though I don't know if AutoIt (or Windows 9x) supports all of these:

expandcollapse popup

MB_ABORTRETRYIGNORE = 0x2

MB_COMPOSITE = 0x2
MB_DEFAULT_DESKTOP_ONLY = 0x20000
MB_DEFBUTTON1 = 0x0
MB_DEFBUTTON2 = 0x100
MB_DEFBUTTON3 = 0x200
MB_DEFBUTTON4 = 0x300
MB_DEFMASK = 0xF00
MB_ERR_INVALID_CHARS = 0x8
MB_FUNC = 0x4000
MB_HELP = 0x4000
MB_ICONASTERISK = 0x40
MB_IConerror = MB_ICONHAND
MB_ICONEXCLAMATION = 0x30
MB_ICONHAND = 0x10
MB_ICONINFORMATION = MB_ICONASTERISK
MB_ICONMASK = 0xF0
MB_ICONQUESTION = 0x20
MB_IConstop = MB_ICONHAND
