HOW TO FLASH UP A MSG BOX AND THEN CLOSE AUTOMATICALLY 1

[MATTTHEDUDE]

Does anyone know how to put up a msg box and then close it without having to result to manual user input.

I can create the msg box but the code halts until the user presses the OK or Cancel keys.

I just need it to appear for a second or so and then get closed by the code.

Hey.

This is probably not the best solution, but it works for me...

Use wscript to place the message.. the user can click okay, but if they don't it goes away after a second anyhow...


Global WshShell As Object

Sub Main
Set WshShell = CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )
WshShell.Popup "Example text", 1, "Example Title", 0
End Sub


Good luck!

To my knowledge this is not possible from within Extra!Basic. Even dialog boxes are modal.

Give it a shot.

I compiled and ran that before I posted it, so it will run in extra!6.7 on a win2k platform.

Vexaxix, I wasn't saying your work-around wouldn't work, I'm saying it's not possible without a work-around.

Long day at the keyboard.. wasn't paying nearly enough attention. Sorry 'bout that.
