Subject: Win32::MsgBox syntax
While perusing the online documentation for AS 626, I tried out the
Win32::MsgBox module, but ran into a snag. It says:
Win32::MsgBox(MESSAGE [, FLAGS [, TITLE]])
[EXT] Create a dialogbox containing MESSAGE. FLAGS specifies the
required icon and buttons according to the following table:
0 = OK
1 = OK and Cancel
2 = Abort, Retry, and Ignore
3 = Yes, No and Cancel
4 = Yes and No
5 = Retry and Cancel
MB_ICONSTOP "X" in a red circle
MB_ICONQUESTION question mark in a bubble
MB_ICONEXCLAMATION exclamation mark in a yellow triangle
MB_ICONINFORMATION "i" in a bubble
How do you specify FLAGS? If I use "2", then I'll get the three
buttons. Or if I use MB_ICONQUESTION, I'll get my question mark in a
bubble. But what if you wanted BOTH? How do you do that?
