how to show a message according to some conditons?

Hi,guys
I want to show a message according to some conditons.
so I use the function "dialog" as someone says in the forum.
I set 4 Checkbox to let the user to choice if a software will be installed or not.
and :
if>Dialog.MycheckBox1=True, install1
if>Dialog.MycheckBox2=True, install2
if>Dialog.MycheckBox3=True, install3
if>Dialog.MycheckBox4=True, install4
...
...

after the install I want a message coming out to show which the user has installed,just like a mini report. (the users always do multi choice)
how should I do? Please help!

Judging by your next post, you may have already figured this out but since you posed the question, it deserves an answer. I will also incorporate Luciano's solution to your next post.

There are so many possibilities, but as long as you have version 7.3 or higher installed you can use complex "If" statements. Try something like this:

Let>waittime=5

if>Dialog.MycheckBox1=True
message>Checkbox 1 selected
Wait>%waittime%
CloseWindow>Macro Scheduler Message
goto>install1
EndIf

if>Dialog.MycheckBox2=True
message>Checkbox 2 selected
Wait>%waittime%
CloseWindow>Macro Scheduler Message
goto>install2
EndIf

if>Dialog.MycheckBox3=True
message>Checkbox 3 selected
Wait>%waittime%
CloseWindow>Macro Scheduler Message
goto>install3
EndIf

if>Dialog.MycheckBox4=True
message>Checkbox 4 selected
Wait>%waittime%
CloseWindow>Macro Scheduler Message
goto>install4
EndIf

Hope this was helpful,
Dick

thanks a lot!
it is a good idea.but can I let the messages be showed after installing for all software that the user choices.I mean, can I put the 4 message in one message box ? that will be nicer? but how...

Rather than displaying a message, make a string to be displayed later on.
Something like this?

Code: Select all

If>Dialog.MycheckBox1=True
Let>MsgString=Checkbox 1 selected
Wait>%waittime%
CloseWindow>Macro Scheduler Message
goto>install1

Label>install1
Do stuff.......
Message>%MsgString%

EndIf

hello,
yes , with your idea I can let a message coming out when the install finished,but when the user chose 3 software of 4,and after the whole install , I want to show a message with words " A,B,C is installed",not for each of them, I need one message window comingout contains a list of softwarename,which the user has installed. not three message windows for each of the 3.

If I understand you correctly, you want one message at the end to reflect the choices made in your dialog box regarding one to all of the options selected. Note, using subroutines rather than labels for install1 thru 4.

Try something like this:

Let>MsgString=
If>Dialog.MycheckBox1=True
Concat>MsgString,Text about software 1%CRLF%
If>Dialog.MycheckBox2=True
Concat>MsgString,Text about software 2%CRLF%
If>Dialog.MycheckBox3=True
Concat>MsgString,Text about software 3%CRLF%
If>Dialog.MycheckBox4=True
Concat>MsgString,Text about software 4

if>Dialog.MycheckBox1=True,install1
if>Dialog.MycheckBox2=True,install2
if>Dialog.MycheckBox3=True,install3
if>Dialog.MycheckBox4=True,install4

SRT>install1
//install stuff
End>install1

SRT>install2
//install stuff
End>install2

SRT>install3
//install stuff
End>install3

SRT>install4
//install stuff
End>install4

Message>%MsgString%

Hope this helps,
Dick
