Scripting With Notepad-New question- Help is APPRECIATED!

Anyone who is good at scripting, Help.

I already know how to create a message box, and an input box. How do you make it so, when I click "No", it brings it to another message box, a different one then when I click "Yes"? I try googling it, but nothing interesting comes up. Any help is appreciated.

Edit:
Thanks for the help. But now I now I want to make it so i can Start a program in the middle of messageboxes. Theorictally, it should be something like this:

Code: vbscript
msgbox "Hi, I'm gonna start the command prompt for you"
start cmd

But that doesnt work?
I also downloaded that micrsoft thing you told me too. The help window says the action has been cancelled.

My first suggestion is to get this script documentation from Microsoft.
WWW Link

Then look at the MsgBox Function.

Here's how to do it in vbscript. For each button you select there is an assigned number that is returned. No = 7

Code: vbscript
Dim MyVar
MyVar = MsgBox ("Hello World!", 67, "MsgBox Example")
   ' MyVar contains either 1 or 2, depending on which button is clicked.
If MyVar = 7 Then MyVar2=MsgBox("Wrong Answer!", 67, "Second Message Box")

I'm no good with remembering what number means what; I use vbyesno.

Code: vbscript
msg = Msgbox("Question", vbyesno)
If msg = vbyes Then 
	msgbox "Correct"
Else 
	msgbox "Incorrect!"
End If

Just throwin' it out there.

I don't remember either; so, you're still ahead of me!

SirSmiley /huggles the WSH help file.

Oh, almost forgot change the 67 to just 4 to limit the msgbox to yes/no.

That's a little trickier, and I'd like to know the answer to that as well. In my user experience the msgbox always has to be cleared before the script continues; could be wrong.

However, if you set the prompt on a timer before you put up the msgbox it will work; won't clear the msgbox though.

Example:

Code: vbscript
Sub Object_OnScriptEnter
	object.SetTimer 1, 5000
	msgbox "Hi, I'm gonna start the command prompt for you"
End Sub
Sub Object_OnTimer1
	Object.KillTimer 1 '--Kill the timer first thing!
	msgbox "Does whatever"
End Sub

The help window says the action has been cancelled

I'm getting that too.

I'm not sure what's wrong with it.

Wait...are you using DesktopX at all?

If not, ignore the above script as it only pertains to DesktopX.

The message box will suspend the script until you make a selection or close it.

With the details you've given it's hard to suggest something. If the program you're running is not tied to the result of the message box than the simplest suggestion is to make two subs & pause the sub that runs the app.

Code: vbscript
Call MyApp 'The app sub must be called first or the message box sub will override it
Call MyMessages
Sub MyMessages
Dim MyVar
MyVar = MsgBox ("Hello World!", 4, "MsgBox Example")
If MyVar = 7 Then MyVar2=MsgBox("Wrong Answer!", 4, "Second Message Box")
End Sub
Sub MyApp
WScript.Sleep 100	'Time in milliseconds
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "%windir%\notepad "
End Sub
