Details ​

The text to be displayed is set with strValue. The window title can be set with title. After the user clicks a button, the message window closes and the execution of the AdoScript is resumed.

Depending on the type or the messagebox, different icons are displayed.

By entering one of the arguments ok, ok-cancel, yes-no, yes-no-cancel or retry-cancel, you can specify which buttons the querybox should display. By entering one of the arguments def-ok, def-cancel, def-yes, def-no or def-retry, you can specify which of the buttons is the default button.

The return variable endbutton contains the name of the button the user pressed (see examples). The text of the shown on the buttons depends on the language of the used OS, but the string returned in endbutton is independent from the OS language.

Starts a ERRORBOX and then prints the return variable endbutton in an INFOBOX. The error box has the buttons "yes" and "no". The default button is the "no" button.

Starts a QUERYBOX and then prints the return variable endbutton in an INFOBOX. The query box has the buttons "yes", "no" and "cancel". The default button is the "cancel" button.

Next, a WARNINGBOX is started. Available buttons are "retry" and "cancel". No default button is specified so ADOxx picks its own. After clicking a button, the result is again displayed in an INFOBOX.
