using MsgBox InputBox

[WintersMystic]

ok, regardless of the word programmer, i didnt know what to choose, i am not one. only a few days into VBScript.

when using InputBox and MsgBox how do you decide what the ok and cancel buttons do?

ive tried.

Sub cmdButton_OnClick
dim stuff
stuff=MsgBox "Hi", vbOKCancel, "Thanx"
If stuff then
MsgBox "Great", vbOK, "Thanx"
End If
End Sub

[color]
of course it didnt work. so how does one do this?

or if you are wanting to see which button was pressed, do the following:

if stuff = vbok then
...Some Code...
Else 'Cancel Button Was Pressed
...Some Code...
End If

Hope this also helps. I found that it is easier to use the constants rather than try to add a bunch of numbers. If you need a list of them, I can post it for you. Tazzmann
