MSGBOX function

[Juvigy]

Is it possible to make the text shown in the simple "OK" msgbox "selectable" and "copy-ble" ?

How can i implement this?

Ever try the helpfile?

It's in the AutoIt folder under program files.

Unless you're trying to change the buttons themselves directly?

I'm sure there's a way to mod this, though i'm not sure.

ControlSetText command may help, idk.

Only with InputBox with the default value as the select-copyable data. It might just look weird if it had OK and Cancel buttons but you only needed one.

So I recommend making a custom GUI.

MsgBoxes can always be copied Just press Ctrl-C

MsgBox(0, 'tThe Box', "Test box")

result:

---------------------------
tThe Box
---------------------------
Test box
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

I think he means highlight it, and I'm pretty there isn't, I've never seen in .exes before. Your best bet would be a gui that has a blank button with a label on top.

In this example i would like to be able to select and copy the text "Test box".This is not possible in your example i have tried it.I guess i will try what $Minikori suggests.

Edit:

Just read your last post, thought you wanted to "change" the button names.

ControlGetText() will get the message box info. Use the AutoInfo.exe to get the controlnameNN and or control id.

You dont get it - i want to be able to copy the text shown in the msgbox - MsgBox(0, 'tThe Box', "1212121212") In this example i want to be able to copy the "1212121212" and paste it in some chat for example. I want the user to start the .exe file and when the msgbox appears i want to be able to copy the info in it.

You don't get it. You can't physically copy data that easy without using hotkeys and manipulation ControlGetText + ClipPut().

You're better off using Koda in SciTe and creating a GUI that uses real edit controls (not labels), so you can control the flow.

The text is copiable with ProgAndy's example.

When the message box is visible press Ctrl C, the hot key copy command. If you paste at this stage, you will get all the text of the message box as shown in ProgAndy's post.

The text is selectable by running the following script which picks out the required text section from the clipboard. Then puts the required text back on the clip board for pasting.

Local $TextDat, $aDat
$TextDat = ClipGet()
$aDat = StringSplit($TextDat, @CRLF, 1)
if IsArray($aDat) then ClipPut ($aDat[4])

Sorry, i see it is copy -able now:) But it copies all. Is it possible to select just one word and copy it ? With a simple msgbox? Guess not...

I will try the edit controls in a GUI .
