Attention

  • If a teach pendant is not connected, error is issued when the command is executed.
  • If more than 10 dialogue boxes are opened simultaneously in a whole task, a task that opens the eleventh dialogue box or later will cause errors.
  • If the MsgBox is performed in WINCAPSIII or EMU, program goes in endless wait.
    This is because a dialog box of MsgBox is not displayed in the simulation of WINCAPSIII or EMU.
    To avoid this, execute a conditional branching as shown below with SIMULATION macro.
    • #If Not __SIMULATION__
  Call MsgBox("...")
#EndIf

Example

Sub Main

	I0 = MsgBox( "Do you want to execute?", 1+32, "Processing confirmation" ) 
	                                    '1([OK][Cancel]button) + 32(Warning Query icon)

	Select Case I0
	Case 1 '[OK]
	  ' ...
	Case 2 '[Cancel]
	  ' ...
	End Select
