Jean-Claude Jean-Claude Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-10-26 Posts: 6 Loc: Dallas, Tx	I am wanting to create a GUI based window, similar to the "Establishing network conections" message windows gives you. Since I run my KIX script hidden, I want to display some sort of message that tells the user that the system (with it's blank screen) is not locked up. I don't want the user to have to click on it, or for it to stop execution so a MessageBox will not work for me. Any ideas? [ 28. October 2002, 19:24: Message edited by: Jean-Claude ]

Check out the following thread KiXforms - Logonscript Sample and download the DLL at http://www.kixforms.freeuk.com/downloads.htm [ 28.

Shawn wrote a small wrapper for EI called KiXPop (KiXWin.exe) that you can place in \NetNogon and call from the script. It will display html content. A search for "KiXPop" in the scripts forum should get you quite a few hits. There is of course one other option... that being to call IE with COM. Lots of examples in the COM forum. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

Another cool way to amuse and inform is with M$ Agents. Have Merlin or Genie or another cast member keep their attention. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.
