Create fake pop-up error message
Hi, I'm trying to program a medialab file such that a fake text box comes up saying that there has been a computer error with the program and that it needs to be shut down (and look just like what you would normally see on a windows computer whenver there is an error). I remember that there is a way to program pop up windows, but I can't remember how. Anyone know how?

I don't think that's possible...
Sorry VictoriaVisser, I've been experimenting with VBScript for some time now, and I know it's posible to make it disappear after a set amount of time, but I can't find anyway to make it appear except secretly pressing it!
I have a few tips:
... if you want to change the icon and make it less suspicious, then create a shortcut and link it to the file and then, change the shortcut icon via 'properties' and you can make it look like an Internet Explorer shortcut that is 'experiencing some difficulties'! ...
... download this attachment attached for an advanced method of VBScripting, (Note: it is text document- you'll have to change the ending to .vbs instead of .txt) and if you just want to copy and paste then :
x=msgbox("Delete local disc D?",36,"Disc cleaner")
If x=vbNo Then
x=msgbox("Really no?",36,"Adjusting")
If x=vbNo then
x=msgbox("But you can't stop it.",64,"Status")
End if
End if
x=msgbox("Cleaning is starting.",64,"Disc cleaner")
Please remember nothing bad will happen.
Still researching and experimenting.
