Hey Brad, hows it going buddy ? You really got to visit here more often, my old friend and mentor !

Here's an idea for a UDF that me and Jan (Schuliebug) were kinda kicking around, its called OptionBox and displays a Dialog box containing option settings. You call it by passing a prompt and an array of strings representing the options, to use this in an admin script, you would first have to download and register Kixforms from here:

Kixforms

you just copy it to system32 then register it like any other ActiveX control ...

regsvr32 kixforms.dll

anways, heres the code:

code:
break on
 
$options = "Red","Yellow","Blue","Green","Orange","Black"
 
$prompt = "Please select a color from the list below:"
 
$choice = optionbox($prompt,$options)
 
?"choice = " $choice
 
exit 1
 
Function OptionBox($prompt,$options)
 
 dim $form,$label,$ok,$cancel
 dim $i,$top
 dim $radio[ubound($options)]
 dim $option
 
 $form = createobject("kixtart.form")
 $form.scalewidth = 400
 $form.scaleheight = 100
 $form.fontsize = 12
 $form.tag = 0
 
 $label = $form.label($prompt)
 $label.top = 20
 $label.left = 20
 $label.width = $form.scalewidth-$label.left-20
 $label.height = 30
 
 $i = 0
 $top = $label.bottom + 10
 for each $option in $options
  $radio[$i] = $form.optionbutton($option)
  $radio[$i].left = $label.left + 20
  $radio[$i].top = $top
  $radio[$i].onclick = "$$option=$i"
  $top = $top + 30
  $i=$i+1
 next
 
 $ok = $form.commandbutton("OK")
 $ok.left = 110
 $ok.top = $top+30
 $ok.width = 80
 $ok.height = 25
 $ok.onclick = "$$form.tag=1"
 
 $cancel = $form.commandbutton("Cancel")
 $cancel.left = $ok.right + 20
 $cancel.top = $top+30
 $cancel.width = 80
 $cancel.height = 25
 $cancel.onclick = "$$form.tag=2"
 
 $form.height = $ok.bottom + 40
 
 $form.center 
 $form.show
 while $form.visible and $form.tag = "0"
  $=execute($form.doevents)
 loop
 
 if $form.tag = "1"
  $optionbox = $option
 else
  $optionbox = -1
 endif
 
 $form = 0
 
endfunction
