How to Make a Message Box in Notepad

Hi there. I'm going to teach you how to make a message box. All you need is Notepad. If you have any comments, feel free to post them. Just start learning and have fun!

Step 1: Step 1: Typing the Text

First, open Notepad and type this:

x=msgbox(box text,buttons,box title)

On the part where it says "box text", type the text you want on the window (with quotation marks). On the "box title", type the title of the message box the same way you typed the text. On "buttons" type a number (without quotation marks):

0: Normal message box
1: OK and Cancel
2: Abort, Retry, Ignore
3: Yes, No, Cancel
4: Yes and No
5: Retry and Cancel
16: Critical message icon
32: Warning query icon
48: Warning message icon
64: Information message icon
4096: Always stay on top of the desktop

Step 2: Step 2: Saving the File

When you're done, save it as a VBS(or VBScript)file. To do this, type ".vbs" at the end of the title and change the "Text Document (*txt)" in the "Save as type" select box to "All Files" .

Example: File name: Fake_Virus.vbs
Save as type: All Files

Step 3: The End

Congratulations! You've done it. To have fun, why don't you make a message box disguised as a "fake" trojan horse on your friend's computer, create a shorcut, rename it, change the icon, lure your friend to click it, and watch them freak out!
As I said, feel free to post any comments.

x=msgbox("Your Text Here",numbers here,"Your Title Here")

[muhammad.gha.faiz]

how to make cancel button to useful? like when you get message box you cancel it and message box is disappeared

[Booldt]

How can you make it so the buttons say something custom, like instead of "ok" in the bottom it says "beans beans beans beans beans"

[temoxyyt]

How do you make it were when you click "Ok" (or any button) it will say another text?

[WindowsTipper1992]

if you want to loop it another way.do this.
:a
x=msgbox(box text,buttons,box title)
goto a

[RajpootA]

Actually, You can't!
We're talking about visual basic script here! The method you told works for batches only. Here, Try this in .vbs or .wsf files.

do
msgbox("message",0+16+4096,"title")
'wscript.sleep 1000
loop

Remove the apostrophe (') If you wanna add an interval in your loop, where 1000=1 sec
Hope that helped :)

I'm trying to batch-vbs , is there a way to like set errorlevels on each buttons clicked or how
does someone define a variable in vbs after a specific button event ?

[NebulaIX]

Actually the way to make a MsgBox in Visual Studio is:

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
MsgBox("Computer Shutting down in 60 Minutes.")
End Sub

Remember to put .vbs when you save it. not .txt

So the name needs to be: Whatever you want.vbs

You can name it anything, but make sure you have .vbs at the end. :)

If you want a message box who can't be close (except using the task manager), do this:
Do
x=msgbox(box text,buttons,box title)
loop

[AlexandraT34]

Yes, you can, you just have to make another message box just like the last one on a second line. But the other will appear even if you select the "X" Button.

Open Start Menu >> Drag application to startup folder >> Enjoy!
