the same as running a command from cmd.exe/batch file

Can I make an error with a function, for example to choose "yes or not" after a request?

[Hobo]

What would you want each option to do?

[Strike Witch]

Well, I'd want them to protect my Vic Viper.

Can I make an error with a function, for example to choose "yes or not" after a request?

if ( msgbox( "sure you would like to exit?", vbyesno ) = vbyes ) then
end
else
form1.visible = true

I just love Microsoft Visual Basic - - My dad taught me it

[Fuzzle King]

this is brilliant.i love it!

[abe is now!]

if ( msgbox( "sure you would like to exit?", vbyesno ) = vbyes ) then
end
else
form1.visible = true

I just love Microsoft Visual Basic - - My dad taught me it

It doesn't work. I created an error with this but it does not work, it is identical to the first one with more informations about the problem.

[moxco]

Is it possible to custimose the "OK" to an other word.

[Paul]

It doesn't work. I created an error with this but it does not work, it is identical to the first one with more informations about the problem.

cause vb6 and vbs are not the same thing, the form1.should would cause a run time error cause there are no forms in vbs, try

if msgbox( "Pick one", vbyesno ) = vbyes then
msgbox "You selected yes"
else
msgbox "You selected no"
end if

edit: To change the OK button you'd need visual basic6 to create a custom "form"

[abe is now!]

So, I can't do it without a program. It doesn't work in this way. But isn't the problem another? Must I add to the name when I save .vbs or other words?

[Paul]

just whack it into notepad and save it as whatever.vbs, make sure the type of files is "all files"

[abe is now!]

Thank you. But it does not work. Must I use notepad or other programs?

[Paul]

*any* text editor, what happens when you open the vbs? Prob don't got scripting enabled

[ParamiteSurprise]

Vb is so powerful you could just program a malicous script :O

Even worse with DOS - With dos you can program a nasty script... Delete system32..

When I open it, it's like the first kind of error. And I can't chose "yes" or "no".

[ParamiteSurprise]

Heres a nice list

[Instead of typing 16, type this]

Vbcritical - Cross
Vbinformation - Information
Vbexclamation - Exclamation mark
vbquestion - Question bubble
vbabortretryignore - Abort, Retry and ignore
vbokcancel - Ok and cancel
vbokonly - Ok only
vbyesno - Yes, No
vbyesnocancel - Yes, No and cancel
vbretrycancel - Retry and cancel
vbmsgboxhelpbutton - help button included
vbmsgboxright - Shifted to right

and the rest are vbdefaultbutton1, vbdefaultbutton2, etc

Have fun!

yes thats why most people dont have the vb6 runtimes installed so no vb apps run at all.. and why you should turn scripting off

and you can't delete system32 on windows nt+ because there is no deltree anymore, you could do del *.* but windows file protection will replace the files as they're being deleted, and the really really important files are always in use anyway

of course you could just delete the stuff from the root of C: (if you wanna delete a file with vb the function is "kill "C:/somefile.ext", carful though

[scrab queen]

Oh, man, this is some really funny stuff. I was such a nerd, I couldn't help but to set up this error for my dad:

lol = msgbox("HOW ARE YOU NERD?! ALL YOUR MEMEORY ARE BELONG TO US! YOUR HARD DRIVE IS ON THE WAY TO DESTRUCTION! YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO REBOOT MAKE YOUR TIME!! hahahah!",16,"Error")


Also:

lol = msgbox("OMG! She's pregnant with a retarded alien, most likely to kill you when it's older baby that will use it's fecal matter as blunt projectiles! What will you do?!",vbabortretryignore,"Error")

I just couldn't help myself!!

[E'l Scrabino]

It doesn't work for me. I type in the stuff but when i re-open it, it just shows the text i put in. No error message for me

[scrab queen]

How about a clearer version?:

Open up the 'Notepad' program, and copy this into it:

lol = msgbox(" insert text",16,"Error")


Where it says 'insert text' is where you put your message.
Then save it under any title you want, but be sure to put '.vbs' after it.
When it's saved, double click on the file's icon (It should look like a blue unraveled piece of paper, like a scroll), and then it should pop up.

[skillyaslig]

bwhaha, it worked! Man, I sux, but I still worked XD Haha, thats weird

That's what i've been doing. Nothing pops up.

[Paul]

Tsk tsk, you're saving it as blah.vbs.txt not blah.vbs

[ParamiteSurprise]

Lol, even the guy that started this thread said to save it as VBS -___-

[Paul]

yeah but people dont pay attention until its been said 99999999 times

[Rupture Farms]

[ParamiteSurprise]

I've done this not with VB6 but with VB6 instead (more abilities)

[Fuzzle Guy]

Some of these are brilliant!

[ParamiteSurprise]

Mehehe....

but vbs isn't all about crummy messageboxes, theres alot more to it, to get my VB info, i got Visual Basic 6 For dummies - Cause im a dummy
