Message Boxes in Scripts

There are three types of message boxes in Paint Shop Pro scripts: the information box, the question box, and the stop box.

Code Snippet:

   result = App.Do(Environment,  'MsgBox', {
           'Buttons': App.Constants.MsgButtons.OKCancel,
           'Icon': App.Constants.MsgIcons.Stop,
           'Text': 'These are Ok and Cancel buttons with a stop sign icon.',

The results from the message box are stored in the variable 'result'. The MsgBox produces one value. The value will either be 1 or 0. The 'result' variable can be used in the if clause to allow switching between choices.

To change the type of buttons on the message box, you change the word after .MsgButtons. The options are OK, OKCancel, or YesNo.

   result = App.Do(Environment,  'MsgBox', {
           'Buttons': App.Constants.MsgButtons.YesNo,
           'Icon': App.Constants.MsgIcons.Question,
           'Text': 'These are Yes and No buttons with a question mark icon.',
           })

To change the picture on the message box, you change the word after .MsgIcons. The options are Info, Question, or Stop.

   result = App.Do(Environment,  'MsgBox', {
           'Buttons': App.Constants.MsgButtons.YesNo,
           'Icon': App.Constants.MsgIcons.Question,
           'Text': 'These are Yes and No buttons with a question mark icon.',
           })

To change the text in a message box you may edit anything between the two single quotes after Text.

   result = App.Do(Environment,  'MsgBox', {
           'Buttons': App.Constants.MsgButtons.YesNo,
           'Icon': App.Constants.MsgIcons.Question,
           'Text': 'These are Yes and No buttons with a question mark icon.',
           })
