Use PopUp to display a popup message box.

Dim WshShell, BtnCode
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
BtnCode = WshShell.Popup("Is your name Bob?", 5, "Answer This Question:", 4 + 32)
Select Case BtnCode
   case 6      WScript.Echo "Hello Bob."
   case 7      WScript.Echo "Oh, I must have you confused with someone else."
   case -1     WScript.Echo "Hello, are you there?"
End Select



This statement will popup a dialog box with the following attributes:

Body Text: "Is your name Bob?"
Title Bar Text: "Answer this Question"
Icon: "Question Mark"
Buttons: "Yes and No"
Timout After: "5 seconds"


The exit codes for this PopUp box will be:

6: "The YES button was clicked"
7: "The NO button was clicked"
-1: "No buttons were clicked, and the popup box timed out after 7 seconds"
