Popup method question

[desktoprat]

Been looking around, can't quite find an answer to my questions.

Using the popup method, is there a way to control its placement?

Also, is there a way of making it to be a background window when it comes up, and NOT the active window?

Are you referring to an HTML page popup? That's more for the HTML or Javascript forum than VBScript.

Actually, it is a vbscript question.

Here is the line I am working with from the MSDN documentation.

Displays text in a pop-up message box.

intButton = object.Popup(strText,[nSecondsToWait],[strTitle],[nType])

My question would be is there any way to have the popup show up in one of the corners instead of dead center of the screen. Also, can the window come up as a background window, and not the active window.

You may take a look at the InputBox function for placement.
WSH is not well suited for GUI, you may consider using HTA.

Hope This Helps, PH.
