how to pop a msg with an hta? 1

[jfdabiri]

hi,
i have an hta app that uses vbscript. is there a way to pop a msg for 5 or 6 seconds? i know this can be done in vbscript using wscript.shell, but i'm not sure how to do it in hta.
thanks.

Have a look at the WshShell.Popup method.

Hope This Helps, PH.

It is the same as you normally do it with VBScript.

If you're using WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") in VBScript then simply use CreateObject("WScript.Shell") in your HTA.

i have this code in vbscript. it works in vbscript, but when i put it in hta, it gives an error msg:
error: object required: wscript

set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

BtnCode = WshShell.Popup("this message will remain for only 5 seconds", 5, "Answer This Question:", 4 + 32)

i'm not sure wscript can be used in hta. is that right?
thanks.

Just do:

set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
