MSGBOX with Yes No buttons that return an exit code.
Updated: 17 Jun 2010
I had been tasked with rolling out XP SP3. The actual install was easy enough, but I had to come up with a message box at the start that gave them the option to say No to running it now.
The problem was that with my very basic knowledge of vbscript I could only create a msgbox that no matter what button I pressed, it reported back a 0 to say it had run properly.
After a few hours googling, I found this script which output a code of 100 for Yes and 200 for No.
So I just thought I would share it with everyone...
Dim objShell, intReturn
Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
intReturn = objShell.Popup("Do you see this ""Hello World""?",4,"Hello World", 4+32)
If intReturn = 6 Then
MsgBox "yes, exit code 100"
WScript.Quit(100)
Else
MsgBox "no, exit code 200"
WScript.Quit(200)
End If
If intReturn = 6 Then
MsgBox "yes, exit code 100"
WScript.Quit(100)
Else
MsgBox "no, exit code 200"
WScript.Quit(200)
End If
