Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

message

A string to display. If additional parameters are present, message is considered a formatted string. See Section 5.2 String Functions for more information on formatted strings.

Zero or more parameters to be formatted and inserted into message. If no parameters are supplied, message is simply passed through to the result string.

Return Value

Remarks

Do not call the OkCancelBox function from background threads or the command line; it returns automatically without displaying the dialog. The OkCancelBox function supports a maximum of 4096 characters.

The OkCancelBox function permits the usage of a formatted string to display information. Formatted strings allow numeric and other data to be formatted into a string for appropriate display. The format of the string and the data to be inserted depend upon the structure of the message parameter and the contents of the additional parameters passed to the function. For more information on formatted strings, see Section 5.2 String Functions for more information on formatted strings.

Message boxes with a query cannot be opened by scripts running in the background.

In console mode, the console will be presented with an option line. Form example:

rc = OkCancelBox("This is a test, ok?"); 

Presents:

This is a test, ok? OK[Enter], Cancel[Escape]:
