MsgBox and the buttons

[t.koridass]

Im new to programm with Autoit and now I have a little problem. I like to move files but befor i must check if a file in the folder exist and then i get a msgbox where someone get se massage "Sorry there is any file in the folder u like to overwrit ist" und u can choose YES / NO but how can i check what someone have chosen?

If FileExists ( "C:\test\test2\*.txt") Then
                MsgBox (4, "Datei", "Datei schon vorhanden, soll Sie überschrieben werden?") 
                    FileMove ( "C:\test\1.txt", "C:\test\test 2", 1)
                        EndIf

If FileExists ( "C:\test\test2\*.txt") Then
$returnmsg = MsgBox (4, "Datei", "Datei schon vorhanden, soll Sie überschrieben werden?") 
if $msg = 1 then
FileMove ( "C:\test\1.txt", "C:\test\test 2", 1)
Endif
EndIf

i think its 1 else it would be 0

EDIT: yep its 1

Hi..

i think you must store the return value of the msgbox.

and decide upon this value what to do.. like:

If FileExists ( "C:\test\test2\*.txt") Then
   $answer=MsgBox (4, "Datei", "Datei schon vorhanden, soll Sie überschrieben werden?") 
    if $answer=1 Then
       FileMove ( "C:\test\1.txt", "C:\test\test 2", 1)
    Endif
EndIf

@zeroZshadow: Are you related to Dalarn? All you seem to do is like to flame. There are differences in time and when the message gets posted. You two may have been writing a reply at the same time. Yours was posted at 08:53, Domonkey posted 08:54. Frankly, your reply was only more confusing and not at all helpful when taken from a newbie's point of view as you included edited code without explaining it. Do yourself a favor, and drop the 12 year old mentality on these fourms. Thanks.

All you're telling autoit to do is store the results of the msgbox in a variable.

Anything that begins with a $ is a variable. Calling the msgbox function without a container to store the answers will not accomplish much, if anything at all.

Another option, but without the container (variable).

if MsgBox(4, '', 'Hello World') = 6 Then
    MsgBox(0, '', 'You pressed Yes')
EndIf

Yes = 6

No = 7

Well, yes, there is that, but storing in a variable makes using Select/Case or If/ElseIf/EndIf much easier for the 3 button boxes.

Apology accepted....I did not realize that English was not your primary language, but some of the return replies seemed rather snappish. I guess it's just difficult to understand emotion very well over a text medium. Edited February 15, 2005 by Blue_Drache
