  • help for a choise box

    From Nicola Mettimano@2:335/601 to g00r00 on Sat Jan 28 11:05:29 2023
    Hello g00r00 and thanks for all your replies, please, just another one :-)))
    I created the private messages menu and inside there is the choice "write message". I would like a box with 2 items to open: emails and netmails, I think
    it should be done with a generic prompt of choosing a or b but I don't know how
    to do it, could you help me please?

    There are a few ways to do it. You can create a lightbar menu to do it or you could use a traditional menu and change the menu prompt to use the #V mci code to create a list of options.

    I created a quick "boxmenudemo.mnu" that gives an example of the second option for you that you can download from /downloads/prealpha on the mysticbbs.com website. Make sure you go into Menu Settings (/S) which is where you'd place the options.

    There is a reference here on the MCI code used: http://wiki.mysticbbs.com/doku.php?id=displaycodes

    .... This virus requires Microsoft Windows 3.x
