  1. VBScript Session 6

  2. What we learn last session? • Looping through code. • Conditional looping. • Linear looping. • Collection looping. • Forced exiting loops.

  3. Subjects for session 6 • The MsgBox function • The InputBox function. • VBScript Constants

  4. An easy way to interact • Showing an output • MsgBox“Hello World!” • Getting an input: • Name = InputBox (“Who are you?”)

  5. The MsgBox function • Displays a message in a dialog box, waits for the user to click a button, and returns a value indicating which button the user clicked. • MsgBox (prompt[, buttons][, title][, helpfile, context])

  6. The InputBox function • Displays a prompt in a dialog box, waits for the user to input text or click a button, and returns the contents of the text box. • InputBox (prompt[, title][, default] [, xpos] [, ypos][, helpfile, context])

  7. VBScript Constants • A number of useful constants you can use in your code are built into VBScript. • Constants provide a convenient way to use specific values without actually having to remember the value itself. • Using constants also makes your code more maintainable should the value of any constant ever change. • Because these constants are already defined in VBScript, you don't need to explicitly declare them in your code. • Simply use them in place of the values theyrepresent.

  8. Constants • MsgBox Constants • Defines constants used in the MsgBox function to describe button visibility, labeling, behavior, and return values • Color Constants • Defines eight basic colors that can be used in scripting RGB, CMYK. • Date and Time Constants • Defines date and time constants used by various date and time functions. • Miscellaneous Constants • Defines constants that don't conveniently fit into any other category.

  9. Constants • String Constants • Defines a variety of non-printable characters used in string manipulation. • Tristate Constants • Defines constants used with functions that format. • VarType Constants • Defines The various variant subtypes.

  10. Excercise

  11. Lab 6.1 • Use the InputBox for retrieve a password, title login to EX 6.1. • Ifthe input is an empty string, exit the program. • Declare a constant MY_PASSWORD. • Declare a constant MAX_RETRY = 3. • If the password is correct display a MsgBox with a wellcome message + information icon + EX 6.1 title. • Display a message each time password incorrect + question icon and a question to retry or cancel the login process. • If the password is typed wrong more then MAX_RETRY times, display an error message with an error icon, then exit the program. • Use the Do..Loop (While or Until). • Tip • Use the Exit Loop statement. • Check the value returned from MsgBox.
