Q. How can I use a script to display a Yes/No confirmation box?

A. You can use the Msgbox function to display a Yes/No dialog box, as the following example shows:

Ret=Msgbox("Are you sure you want to reboot?",VBYesNo,"Reboot Confirm")

Ret is variable that contains the Msgbox return code, which varies depending on the button the user pressed (Yes returns a value of 6; No returns a value of 7). The parentheses contain the question text; the VBYesNo constant, which tells VBScript to display Yes and No buttons; and the dialog box title. The figure at Figure shows the Yes/No box that the code example produces.

The following code shows how to use the Msgbox function in a script:

Ret=Msgbox_("Are you sure you want to reboot?",VBYesNo,"Reboot confirm")If Ret=6 then  Set OpSysSet =GetObject("winmgmts:{(Shutdown)}//./root/cimv2").ExecQuery_("select * from Win32_OperatingSystem where Primary=true")  for each OpSys in OpSysSet    OpSys.Reboot()  nextend if

(The Ret=Msgbox and GetObject lines each wrap to two lines here because of space constraints.) You can download the Msgbox code example at Code.
