I have converted the MsgBox flags from the help file (Well, Actually I got them from a VBScript website) and converted them into an include file so you don't have to memorize the numerical values.

It has all of the standard MsgBox flags, and one that I found rather interesting: a flag which has... 7 Buttons! Yes, No, Cancel, Ok, Abort, Retry, and Ignore!

Here is the code:

CODE

#cs ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

AutoIt Version: 3.2.12.0

Author: KentonBomb

Script Function:

Constants for MsgBox() Function

Notes:

Converted from the VBScript flags found at http://www.devguru.com/technologies/vbscri.../msgboxcon.html and numerous other places on the net

Although I could have easily converted it from the helpfile...

#ce ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

;//MessageBox Button Flags\\

Global Const $VBOKOnly = 0 ;Show OK button (Default for MsgBox'es, Hence it equals 0. Added for good measure)

Global Const $VBOKCancel = 1;Show OK and cancel buttons

Global Const $VBAbortRetryIgnore = 2;Show abort, retry, ignore buttons

Global Const $VBYesNoCancel= 3;Show yes, no cancel buttons

Global Const $VBYesNo= 4;Show yes, no buttons

Global Const $VBRetryCancel = 5;Show retry, cancel buttons

;//MessageBox "Icon" Flags\\

Global Const $VBCritical = 16;Show critical message icon

Global Const $VBQuestion = 32;Show warning query button

Global Const $VBExclaimation = 48;Show warning message icon

Global Const $VBInformation = 64;Show information message icon

;//MessageBox Default Icon Flags\\

Global Const $VBDefaultButton1 = 0;First button is default (This is default for MsgBox'es, Hence it equals 0. Added for good measure)

Global Const $VBDefaultButton2 = 256;Second button is default

Global Const $VBDefaultButton3 = 512;Third button is default

Global Const $VBDefaultButton4 = 768;Fourth button is default

;//MessageBox Return Values\\

Global Const $VBOK = 1;OK Button selected

Global Const $VBCancel = 2;Cancel button selected

Global Const $VBAbort = 3;Abort button selected

Global Const $VBRetry = 4;Retry button selected

Global Const $VBIgnore = 5;Ignore button selected

Global Const $VBYes = 6 ;Yes button selected

Global Const $VBNo = 7;No button selected

;//FunStuff\\

Global Const $VBYesNoOkCancelAbortRetryIgnore = 6

And an example:

#include "MessageBoxConstants.au3"
Switch MsgBox($VBYesNoOkCancelAbortRetryIgnore+$VBCritical+$VBDefaultButton3, "Whoa", "What to do?")
    Case $VBAbort
            MsgBox($VBOkOnly, "You pressed...", "Abort! How cool for you!")
    Case $VBRetry
            MsgBox($VBOkOnly, "You pressed...", "Retry! How cool for you!")
    Case $VBIgnore
            MsgBox($VBOkOnly, "You pressed...", "Ignore! How cool for you!")
    Case $VBYes
            MsgBox($VBOkOnly, "You pressed...", "Yes! How cool for you!")
    Case $VBNo
            MsgBox($VBOkOnly, "You pressed...", "No! How cool for you!")
    Case $VBOk
            MsgBox($VBOkOnly, "You pressed...", "Ok! How cool for you!")
    Case $VBCancel
            MsgBox($VBOkOnly, "You pressed...", "Cancel! How cool for you!")
EndSwitch

The above makes a 7 buttoned message box with the "Critical" icon, with the 3rd button (Ok) Being the default. Makes it easier if you ask me.

Comments/Questions appreciated!

Not bad, good addition imho. 

MsgBox($VBOKOnly+$VBInformation, "test", "test")

Far easier to understand than just adding #'s together lol

$VBOkOnly is default, so you could have written that line:

MsgBox($VBInformation, "Test", "Test")

Which would produce the same result :)

Nice, VB constant variables.

Are you aware that AutoIt3 has included MsgBox constants since as long as I can remember? :)

#include <Constants.au3>

Switch MsgBox($MB_YESNO, 'Whoa', 'What to do?')
    Case $IDYES
        MsgBox(0, 'You pressed...', 'Yes! How cool for you!')
    Case $IDNO
        MsgBox(0, 'You pressed...', 'No! How cool for you!')
EndSwitch

Y'all should add those constants the the helpfile for MSGBOX then. Because right now, it only shows the #'s, not the constants :)

Doesn't work for me. ( XP MCE SP2, German)

I get

[Abbrechen] [Wiederholen] [Weiter]

[....Abort....] [.....Retry.....] [Continue]

with Return values:

-$VBCancel ----- 10 ------------11------

Idk... Maybe it's different for non-English systems.

Here's how it looks on my system.

That's a Wine bug then, as 0x6 is the value assigned to MB_CANCELTRYCONTINUE. Here's a slightly more complete version of the constants list I compiled recently as well:

; Return values
Global Const $IDTIMEOUT  = -1
Global Const $IDABORT    = 0x3
Global Const $IDCANCEL   = 0x2
Global Const $IDCONTINUE = 0xB
Global Const $IDIGNORE   = 0x5
Global Const $IDNO       = 0x7
Global Const $IDOK       = 0x1
Global Const $IDRETRY    = 0x4
Global Const $IDTRYAGAIN = 0xA
Global Const $IDYES      = 0x6

; Buttons
Global Const $MB_ABORTRETRYIGNORE  = 0x0002
Global Const $MB_CANCELTRYCONTINUE = 0x0006
Global Const $MB_HELP              = 0x4000
Global Const $MB_OK                = 0x0000
Global Const $MB_OKCANCEL          = 0x0001
Global Const $MB_RETRYCANCEL       = 0x0005
Global Const $MB_YESNO             = 0x0004
Global Const $MB_YESNOCANCEL       = 0x0003

; Icons
Global Const $MB_ICONASTERISK    = 0x40
Global Const $MB_ICONEXCLAMATION = 0x30
Global Const $MB_ICONHAND        = 0x10
Global Const $MB_ICONQUESTION    = 0x20
Global Const $MB_IConerror       = $MB_ICONHAND
Global Const $MB_ICONINFORMATION = $MB_ICONASTERISK
Global Const $MB_IConstop        = $MB_ICONHAND
Global Const $MB_ICONWARNING     = $MB_ICONEXCLAMATION

; Default buttons
Global Const $MB_DEFBUTTON1 = 0x000
Global Const $MB_DEFBUTTON2 = 0x100
Global Const $MB_DEFBUTTON3 = 0x200
Global Const $MB_DEFBUTTON4 = 0x300

; Modality
Global Const $MB_APPLMODAL   = 0x0000
Global Const $MB_SYSTEMMODAL = 0x1000
Global Const $MB_TASKMODAL   = 0x2000

; Miscellaneous
Global Const $MB_DEFAULT_DESKTOP_ONLY      = 0x00020000
Global Const $MB_RIGHT                     = 0x00080000
Global Const $MB_RTLREADING                = 0x00100000
Global Const $MB_SERVICE_NOTIFICATION      = 0x00200000
Global Const $MB_SETFOREGROUND             = 0x00010000
Global Const $MB_TOPMOST                   = 0x00040000
Global Const $MB_SERVICE_NOTIFICATION_NT3X = $MB_TOPMOST

It's interesting how you, AlmarM, and I all attempted to compile a list of messagebox constants around the same time (within a week of one another). Naturally, I didn't see this thread, though, as I wouldn't have bothered wasting the few minutes of my life hunting down the exact values had I seen this thread and found out that Constants.au3 already contained most of the constants (as MHz pointed out) xD

[ WinINet.au3 | Array.au3 (Optimized) | _UnixTimeParse() ]
