For example.

I want to msgbox a warning dialog box then reboot the computer after 1 minute. But if user do not click OK the computer will not countdown and not reboot.

Use objShell.PopUp can let the msgbox auto click but I still want user see the warning box.

Really want to know if there is a way to do next step when the msgbox still on the screen.

Thank you.

Status: offline 		if the computer is going to reboot where would the message box display after popup times out?

You could also check out shutdown.exe which should be on all Windows 2000/XP machines.

Will this work for you?



msgResult = MsgBox("Click OK to reboot, or Cancel to quit",4097) 'using VBSystemModal (4096) and VBOKCancel(1) = 4096 + 1

If (msgResult = 1) Then 'user clicked OK
MsgBox "Clicked OK, thank you, will reboot now.",64
'start reboot sequence in 1 minute
Else
MsgBox "Clicked Cancel, thank you, will terminate script, and NOT reboot",64
Wscript.Quit
End If

Here is some sample code to show how you may be able to use this in your situation:

I think I didn't give the exact expression to you all. Sorry for my bad english.

Your scripts are both excellent but have a little difference from what I want.

Well, I just want when the popup window popped up, the counter would start its work at the same time whether user click OK or not. The status now is that if user doesn't click OK button, the counter will not work so the reboot action will not start.

This is only a example. In other words, do we have a way to go on running the script when the pop up window still stay on the screen?

==========================================
msgbox "Keep this window"

objShell.run "cmd.exe /c net user administrator 123456"
==========================================

How to let the second line run and keep the first line's window?

Thanks.

So, whats wrong with Country73's code? It displays a popup that vanishes after a period of time and due to the "action handler" you can set up actions carried out at certain events. You only have to replace the Echo-statements with your reboot action...

Hm...I guess you can do it due to the Event-based structure of Windows. Perhaps you can catch some kind of Event and react to it...very strange stuff with VBscript (I'm not sure wether you can do it all using VBscript)

perhaps go from here

Status: offline 		I believe, which I may not be understanding netxman correctly, but it sounds like the script will pop up the msgbox but the script needs to keep running through and not waiting for a response to the pop up message.

This sounds more like a combination of two scripts running.

I may be wrong on this, but that's what I got out of netxman's last post.

Thanks all upstairs.

Maybe it can not come to true in one script.Two scripts are very easy to do that.

Thanks coldstrongvision, I think Wscript.Echo is not the same as MsgBox especially in console.

Thank you very much.
