MessageBox

[ckugo]

I am trying to create a message box that has a yes/no option and does different things depending on whether or not yes or no is clicked. I can get the message box to have the buttons and looked exactly how I want it to, but I cannot get the buttons to do the proper things. I have read that the yes/no have values of 7 and 6. But I cannot get any farther than that. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

I think the bit that you are missing is to do a select statement.

Select Case Result
Case 7
Do this if yes
case 6
Do this if no
Case Else
Do this if something really weird happens
End Select

I hope you find this post helpful. Please let me know if it was.

Regards,

Mark

Hello ckugo,

Can also use built-in constants vbYes & vbNo then branchout per return integer which is already restricted by the button offered vbYesNo.

iRet=msgbox("Pick yes or no",vbYesNo,"Testing Msgbox Constants vbYes and vbNo")
If iRet=vbYes then
	msgbox "You've chosen yes."
else
	msgbox "You've chosen no."
end if

Hello everyone,

This is how I got it to work:

if msgbox("Message.",vbyesno,"Title&quot = "7" then
wscript.quit
else
blah blah blah...

end if

Thanks to everyone for their help. I will definately take note of the different ways for doing it.

Thanks again,

Chris
