The AutoRun can open an message dialog. The message dialog can be used to supply information to the end user
or ask
them a question. You can customize the message text, icon, window title and the buttons. If the message box is a question
and the user selects No or Cancel no more actions in the current AutoRun sequence will be implemented.
To show a message:
1. Enter the message for the dialog. You can enter a short message directly into
the text field or you can press on Edit
which will open a dialog with a text editor in which you can enter a longer message.
2. In the Title text field enter the window title for the message dialog.
The window title is the text that appears in the top
area of the Microsoft Windows window frame.
3. Select an Icon style. The following are the available styles:
Error
Question
Information
Warning
4. Select the Buttons that you want:
OK Only
Both OK and Cancel buttons
Both Yes and No buttons
5. If a style with more then one button is chosen then choose which of the buttons
should be the Default Button. The
default button is the button that is in focus when the dialog opens and will be the selected button if the user hist the Enter key when the dialog opens.

In order to create a more dynamic AutoRun you can read the message text to display in the message dialog from the
registry. This could be used to display a message that you specify in a previous step from the AutoRun.
1. Enter the Registry key in the edit box.
2. Enter the Value name in the edit box.
When the AutoRun executes the message text that is displayed is read from the specified location in the registry.
