MSGBOX position in WSH/VBS

Question

Hello,

here is my next question and i hope some one can help me :-)

Is it possible to position a msgbox in wsh/vbs?

I need the msgbox everytime in the foreground. I know that how to position a inputbox, but not a msgbox.

Thanks for help.

Greetings, matthias

Answer 1

This is possible. Here is a link to a code sample (VB5, so it should work for you):

Basically, you set up a hook so that your application gets a notification whenever you pop up a message box. Inside the handler, you move the message box to the desired location on the screen.

You cannot do that with a WSH MsgBox using VBS alone.

InputBox is the only build in dialog function that allows you to set a position.

You can use a WshShell.Popup and make it disappear after a few seconds, however it will be centered.

Edit; here is something using IE.
