I've already ages ago written a SplashText generator, but it uses AU3GUIXP - back in the days before AutoIt had built in GUI... It seriously needs a re-write now we have this... hmm...

Excellent, GCriaco. Thanks.

A "CodeWizard" its a great idea.

ive been working on a "code" wizard type thing, but it's basically just like autoit, rebuilt... i just havent added every function in so far, well, because im really lazy and that would be a while... but it's nothin special, and i havent really been working on it the past few weeks it's also a command prompt type thing.. example:

box msg hello world

would produce a msgbox with the title "Msg" and the text "Hello world" but i think this would be pretty useless.. unless you just didnt want to download the whole autoit package, and the name is BEA: Batch, Executable, Autoit. a combination of all three

Bug: Preview button won't work if user types multiple characters into the "Password Char" textbox.

Solution: Add the following around line 52 of InputBoxWizard.zu3

GuiCtrlSetLimit($txtPwdChr, 1, 0)

Keep up the great work!

EDIT: Some suggestions for MsgBoxWizard... See attached code

1) "Cancel, Retry, Continue" should be "Cancel, Try Again, Continue" (at least on WinXP English)

2) You could show a preview of the MsgBox icon in the wizard itself...

3) You might want to generate code that uses Constants.au3: For example, Case $iMsgBoxAnswer = $IDYES instead of Case $iMsgBoxAnswer = 6 ;Yes However, using contants for the MsgBox flag would require more effort than my simple StringReplace hack

MsgBoxWizard.au3

InputBoxWizard: Fixed the bug notified. Users can download the ver. 1.0.1 from my AutoIt public area.

MessageBoxWizard: I'll implement the script as suggested.

Many thanks to CyberSlug.

This is a problem, as the helpfile specifies number returns, not constants?

This causes confusion for beginners, let alone for advanced, who are accustomed to the rule of the helpfile. I use F1 (Helpfile) by default, rather then digging through the include folder for answers.

If no reference in the helpfile, then it should not be used.

Thanks for sharing! I look forward to your combined release.

[gcriaco]

MessageBoxWizard 1.2 released.

It includes CyberSlug suggestions and a bugfix.

Be carefully that, if you use the option "Use constants", there are no constants in Constants.au3 (Message Box Constants) for:

10 - TRY AGAIN

11 - CONTINUE

BTW, I agree with MHz about the helpfile: it should have a reference to the Constants.au3 file.

I will add those two constants to the include file. Thanks.

These have been added and submitted to Jon. Let me know if you see any problems. Thanks.

Constants.au3

[CyberSlug]

These have been added and submitted to Jon.  Let me know if you see any problems.  Thanks.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Maybe we could also use:

Global Const $IDTIMEOUT = -1 ; Message box timed out

There might be some others.... I need to also look at GuiConstants.au3

[gcriaco]

Hi Jeremy.

2 missing constants more in Constants.au3 for MessageBox:

262144 - top-most attribute set

524288 - title and text are right-justified

Moreover, consider the CyberSlug suggestion:

Global Const $IDTIMEOUT = -1 ; Message box timed out

If yow agree, please post the upgraded Constants.au3 file.

Thanks
