Where can I find a list of what each return value relates to. 2 is cancel. we have seen try again return 10 but the winapi files seem to have that one at 4. So where do we find the complete list?

I don't have a list. What I always do is display the box, click each option
I'm going to use and write it down. I throw it away when I'm done. :-)

Look at the function description in the functions window.

Thanks Amy! That helps a little but "Try again" is not on the list. We have found that it is 10 using Mike Baker's approach.

There is no "Try Again" option for the SystemMessageBox function. Retry is
actually 4.

HTH;

Here is what we have found. This shows the setup value as well as the return
values for each button.

myMess:=MessageBox("", "Message text","Continue?", 6)

-- Value Button Display Button value (int) - respectively
-- blk OK 1
-- 1 OK/cancel 1/2
-- 2 Abort/Retry/Ignore 3/4/5
-- 3 Yes/No/cancel 6/7/2
-- 4 Yes/No 6/7
-- 5 Retry/cancel 4/2
-- 6 Cancel/Try Again/Continue 2/10/11
-- 8 Help/cancel ""?/2 -- Dont work!!
-- 10 OK/cancel/Help 1/2/""? -- Dont work!!

So even though you said you were using the SystemMessageBox function, you
actually were using a different function. Makes it difficult to give you
accurate information.

Good luck!

myMess:=SystemMessageBox("", "Message text","Continue?", 6)

This one works the same. They are the same function.

SystemMessageBox is Authorware built in connection to the winapi control while
MessageBox is a direct connection to the winapi control.

So if any one else finds more results or option try posting them for the rest
of us.

Thanks!

Interesting. I hadn't seen that before.

It does seem silly why there would be a retry and a try again. There might be others.
