In a script, use the following commands to produce a user interface dialog box:
dim DlgBody as message;
dim DlgTitle as message;
dim Style as integer;
dim Result as integer;
DlgBody = "Do you want to open the valve ’MR-3-FF’?";
DlgTitle = "Confirm Opening Valve MR-3-FF";
Style = 48;
OLE_CreateObject(%WS,"Wscript.Shell");
result = %WS.Popup(DlgBody,1,DlgTitle,Style);
This example creates the following user interface dialog box.
The Style tagname determines which icon and which buttons appear on the dialog box. Use the following values:
|
Icon |
Style |
Value |
|---|---|---|
|

|
Error icon |
16 |
|
|
Question mark icon |
32 |
|
|
Warning icon |
48 |
|
|
