Introduction: How to Make a Message Box in Windows
I learned how to do this a few years ago, and I thought I might show you. It takes only 5 minutes and is really fun to do.
Supplies
Here is what you will need:
-5 Minutes
-Windows XP or higher computer
-Notepad
Step 1: Open Notepad
First, you will need to open Notepad. Tap the Windows Key and N.
Step 2: Type the Code and Save
Here is what you will need to type into Notepad:
x=msgbox("Text Here","0","Title Here")
Once you've done that, hit save.
Select 'All Files' instead of 'Text Documents', and save it as 'MessageBox.vbs'.
Step 3: Adding More Stuff
1. You can make your Message Box talk. Type this:
x=msgbox("Text Here","0","Title Here")
Set Sapi = Wscript.CreateObject("SAPI.SpVoice")
set wshshell = wscript.CreateObject("wscript.shell")
Sapi.speak "Enter What You Want Your Computer To Say Here"
2. You can make your Message Box have different buttons. Replace the "0" in the middle with one of these:
0: Normal message box
1: OK and Cancel
2: Abort, Retry, Ignore
3: Yes, No, Cancel
4: Yes and No
5: Retry and Cancel
3. You can also make it have different symbols:
16: Critical message icon
32: Warning query icon
48: Warning message icon
64: Information message icon
4. If you type 4096, it will always stay on top of the desktop.
Step 4: When You've Finished...
You can show your friends how to make their own, make one to wish someone a Happy Birthday or Merry Christmas, or even a Fake Virus Message Box! If you are an Apple user, don't worry! You can make one by clicking the link below. Stay tuned for more awesome Instructables by Corgi2000!
