I'm new here

Post by jj45410 » Tue Nov 18, 2008 9:10 pm

Hi, I'm kind of new to macro scheduler scripting... I've tried some javascript, java and I know a fair bit of that but VB script is sort of new to me. I learn by actually looking at the code and I was wondering how to make a menu that could open up and show all my favorite websites. If someone could please make a menu that has just 3 random websites listed and if I were to click on one it would let me vist that site. So I could read it and look at the code and see how it is done. Thank you.

I like the easy questions:

Code: Select all

Dialog>Dialog1
   Caption=Websites
   Width=445
   Height=156
   Top=CENTER
   Left=CENTER
   Button=Mjtnet.com,24,16,385,25,10
   Button=Google.com,24,48,385,25,11
   Button=msn.com,24,80,385,25,12
EndDialog>Dialog1

Show>dialog1,res1
If>res1=10
  Exe>http://www.mjtnet.com
EndIf
If>res1=11
  Exe>http://www.google.com
EndIf
If>res1=12
  Exe>http://www.msn.com
EndIf
