VBS Msgbox

Denis,

• I was too lazy to compute the size programmatically. And, it the 2005 version the message box always came up hidden, so I always used 0 for the top. It's also part of my OCD to be able to control everything.
• I personally don't need it to timeout. I used this in vbs files to ask to continue to the next step, skip the next step or cancel the vbs. BTW, I added the code back in but keep it assign it to 0.
• Sound was calling Windows Media Player: WshShell.Run "C:\Users\donast\desktop\sndrec32.lnk",7,false the lnk is a shortcut on my old desktop that had: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe"
  "C:\Users\Public\Music\Wavefiles\Twilight.wav"
• Yes. The value is the number of the button in the order specified when calling it.
• Never really thought about it as all my VBS/VBA code is relatively simple and I add comments in the file as necessary to remind me what is going on. I don't usually have anyone to share my code.

FYI I use a VBS to call it. Here's a line from a test vbs I use to run your version:

choice=Wshshell.run("custommsgbox.vbs " & wscript.scriptname & " ""CopyFiles.vbs done. Continue with UnArchVista.vbs?"" ""White"" ""Black"" 40 ""Yes"" ""No"" ""Cancel""",1,true)

Copy it to a text editor to see all the spaces, etc. Took me a while back the to figure it out.

Find Task list entries with VBS

Thank you.

I fail to make it work though...

I can see how the

"cmd /c tasklist.exe"

works when run from a cmd prompt. And that the Shell-command then can execute it.

My goal is to know if a specific app is running. With the SQL I could then ask specifically for that App - provided I know how it shows up in the list. Hence the first try on making a list of active apps.

In the Task Manager I only have 5 Apps. The "cmd /c tasklist.exe" shows some 160 entries - and none of them appear to be any of the Apps in the Task Manager - and not the particular one I am looking for.

Any suggestions on how to detect (from VBS) if a specific App is running?
