UtahTechDad Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Re: InputBox function... Am I "up in the night", or should not the value in the "Default" field be passed if the timeout threshold is reached? Specifically, the following line returns a NULL if nothing is entered in fifteen seconds, but I would have thought that it should return the value. It shows properly and is passed if you hit enter, but I am looking for an unattended script with default values. Note: I have a work-around, but it is ugly and I am just performing a self-sanity-check. Thanks! $sTID1 = InputBox("Transaction Manager Installation - step 1/3", "What is your destination server IP?", "10.231.201.160","",355,120,Default,Default,15)
spudw2k Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) The timeout function basically performs a cancel on the InputBox. You can verify this by checking @error. See below. I would say make the default value a variable and assign it if the return is "" and @Error = 2 Success: Returns the string that was entered. Failure: Returns "" (blank string) and sets @error as follows: @Error 0 = The string returned is valid. 1 = The Cancel button was pushed. 2 = The Timeout time was reached. 3 = The InputBox failed to open. This is usually caused by bad arguments. $defaultip = "10.231.201.160" $sTID1 = InputBox("Transaction Manager Installation - step 1/3", "What is your destination server IP?", $defaultip,"",355,120,Default,Default,15) If $sTID1 = "" and @error = 2 Then SetError(0) $sTID1 = $defaultip EndIf Edited May 30, 2008 by spudw2k Spoiler Things I've Made: Always On Top Tool ◊ AU History ◊ Deck of Cards ◊ HideIt ◊ ICU ◊ Icon Freezer ◊ Ipod Ejector ◊ Junos Configuration Explorer ◊ Link Downloader ◊ MD5 Folder Enumerator ◊ PassGen ◊ Ping Tool ◊ Quick NIC ◊ Read OCR ◊ RemoteIT ◊ SchTasksGui ◊ SpyCam ◊ System Scan Report Tool ◊ System UpTime ◊ Transparency Machine ◊ VMWare ESX Builder Misc Code Snippets: ADODB Example ◊ CheckHover ◊ Detect SafeMode ◊ DynEnumArray ◊ GetNetStatData ◊ HashArray ◊ IsBetweenDates ◊ Local Admins ◊ Make Choice ◊ Recursive File List ◊ Remove Sizebox Style ◊ Retrieve PNPDeviceID ◊ Retrieve SysListView32 Contents ◊ Set IE Homepage ◊ Tickle Expired Password ◊ Transpose Array Projects: Drive Space Usage GUI ◊ LEDkIT ◊ Plasma_kIt ◊ Scan Engine Builder ◊ SpeeDBurner ◊ SubnetCalc Cool Stuff: AutoItObject UDF ◊ Extract Icon From Proc ◊ GuiCtrlFontRotate ◊ Hex Edit Funcs ◊ Run binary ◊ Service_UDF
someone Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) I know you said you have a workaround, but as you are looking for "an unattended script with default values", you could simply do this; $Def_IP = "10.231.201.160" $sTID1 = InputBox("Transaction Manager Installation - step 1/3", "What is your destination server IP?", $Def_IP,"",355,120,Default,Default,15) If $sTID1 = "" Then $sTID1 = $Def_IP MsgBox(0, "$sTID1", $sTID1) The better way to approach this (if this is unacceptable) is to use a GUI.
