Dialog with resizing window and moving buttons

I am wanting to make a Dialog window that has label text at top and buttons on bottom. the text will be a variable. the text will change size because i want to bring it in from a server based text file. this Dialog will be part of login script on network so a single text file can be maintained and a...

While waiting for some feedback, i continued and added a Pause button and fixed the labels to include a countdown of remaining seconds. but the Progress Bar will not work along with the buttons. so i have commented out the progress bar for now. the current script is here: Let>MyCaption= Friendly Rem...

making progress (pun) by using progressbar. but with progress bar enabled the clicking on OK does not close down any more. Help does indicate that labels can be changed. i tried using %k% in the label for "countdown seconds" but it did not appear to change so i decided to try a progress bar instead....

thank you again JRL. i just came back to ask some questions about the first sample you provided. when i single stepped it was doing some funny things, the ONEVENT kept firing. now i see that you pointed out removal from the loop-that makes sense, shame on me. now i see your most recent example, #3, ...

OK, now i understand what i did wrong. the last parameter of OnEvent must be a SubRoutine, just as stated in the Help. i used a label there. somewhere I thought it said label OR subroutine. your script changed Continue to a subroutine instead of a label. That is good because now i can see that i cou...

i just tried example number 1 and that one did work. thank you for your help. now i need to go understand how you did that. Two more questions: 1. do you think i can add a "second" count down till disappears? Eg: "Will disappear in 30 seconds .....,(29,28,27......etc.) 2. can i make OK button invisi...

I want to be able to click OK to make go away before full delay. Message may be longer, may be 30+ sec...

Dialog with timeout if no button pressed

I am trying to make a Dialog that will pop up and wait for OK button to be pressed. If not pressed in x seconds, then it will go away by itself. This will be put into StartUp folder, so must go away and not hang up waiting if unattended. I am using %Delay% fot the wait period. The following seems to...
