Create an Error Message Box in Notepad

Have you ever wanted to try scripting in Notepad? Well, here's your chance to! I'll show you how to create a simple error message box, only with the use of Notepad. This works in Windows XP, Vista and 7. Here's the code you will need to put in -

X=MsgBox("Message Description",0+16,"Title")

Here's what the numbers mean -

Number before the + =

0 = Ok Button
1 = Ok/Cancel Button
2 = Abbort/Retry/Ignore button
3 = Yes/No/Cancel
4 = Yes/No

Here are what the numbers mean after the + =

16 - Crtitcal Icon
32 - Warning Icon
48 - Warning Message Icon
64 - Information Icon

To create multiple Message Boxes, just duplicate the line

ENJOY!

@Lazy_.People Just copy this code instead...

X = MsgBox("Message here",0+48, "Window title")

@MrMario8955 Try just copying and editing this instead...

X = MsgBox("Message here",0+48, "Window title")

@Mrfreeze401 Then you either made a horrible error in the script or you should seriously update your drivers..

@theowenmcgrillz Maybe you should get "Microsoft Visual Basic Studio 2008 Express edition".

@pizza9290 ohh... thanks for the tip!

[theowenmcgrillz]

can anyone help me with a more advanced version of this?

is it possible to have the yes/no and exit button blurred out so you cant click them exit the message?

[pizza9290]

Do this to make it not cross of:

do

X = MsgBox("Your message here",0+16, "Title over here")

loop

@FruitLover216 It means the script isn't right, Check the script for NO errors and mispells.

hide the vbs and make it a short cut then you can change the icon of the short cut or just change the location thingy on a shortcut that is already made
