vbscript pop-up that doesn't stall script 1

[Phylum]

Outside of creating a chromeless window via HTABox, I'm curious to know if there's a way in vbscript to display a pop-up that doesn't stall the entire script. Both msgbox and popup stall the script until either a user intervenes, or, in the case of popup only, the timeout occurs.

I don't know of one. When I need such fucntionality, I just called another script that [tt]msgbox[/tt] what is passed in. Not sure why vbscript doesn't include an asynchronous msgbox.


call an "async popup"

objShell.Run "wscript.exe ""c:\some\folder\msgbox.vbs"" ""An Error has occured"" ", false

msgbox.vbs

set objArgs = wscript.arguments
msgbox objArgs(0)

I had considered that but its not 'elegant'. I didn't want to have a collection of scripts like that floating around.
Sad to know there isn't an option to do this
Glad to know there isn't an option to do this

Thanks again Geates
