9.11. Popup

The Popup method displays an interactive Windows popup message and returns a value depending on which button was selected (see Table 9-11):

 intButton = object.Popup(   strMessage   , [   numSecondsToWait   ], _         [   strTitle   ], [   intType   ])

strMessage	Message to display.
numSecondsTo-Wait	Optional parameter. If specified, popup waits indicated number of seconds and then closes .
strTitle	Optional title for popup window.
intType	Optional numeric value that decides the number of buttons and icons to show. This is determined by combining a value from Table 9-12 and Table 9-13. For example, the value of 65 displays an OK button and the Information icon.
