jbennett Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 (edited) Hi, The last question of the night and i've finished my code :-) I have a msgbox that pops up if it cannot find the backup location. The backup location is stored within $backup_location and if it's not accesible then a msgbox will appear. The only problem is that if the user clicks the OK button then the code continues. Is there any way to prevent the user from clicking OK until the drive is available. I'm thinking of having an OK and a CANCEL button and the user can only click OK if the drive is available, otherwise they have to click CANCEL and CANCEL will exit the program. Here is my code $checkNASdrive = DriveStatus( $backup_location ) if $checkNASdrive ="INVALID" then MsgBox(16,"ERROR","Cannot find backup destination"& @LF & "Please connect the NAS drive and click the OK button") EndIf Thanks alot for everyone's help so far :-) 1 Last hurdle and i've made it.

MrCreatoR Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 (edited) is there any way of adding a CANCEL button so the user can close the msgbox?Look at the flags for Msgbox function in help file. $checkNASdrive = DriveStatus($backup_location) $iAsk = 0 While $checkNASdrive = "INVALID" If $iAsk = 0 Then $iAsk = MsgBox(1+16, "ERROR", _ "Cannot find backup destination" & @LF & "Please connect the NAS drive and click the OK button") Else ;5 is Retry and Cancel $iAsk = MsgBox(5+16, "ERROR", _ "Cannot find backup destination" & @LF & "Please connect the NAS drive and click the Retry button") EndIf If $iAsk = 2 Then Exit ;Return 2 is Cancel, 4 is Retry. $checkNASdrive = DriveStatus($backup_location) WEnd Edited October 22, 2008 by MrCreatoR Spoiler Using OS: Win 7 Professional, Using AutoIt Ver(s): 3.3.6.1 / 3.3.8.1 AutoIt Russian Community My Work...

jbennett Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 (edited) One little problem TehWale. The code will still continue if the user clicks cancel. Is it possible to exit the program if they click cancel thanks :-) Edited October 22, 2008 by jbennett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
