Hi beatboxx,
normally the batch window is also your interface to show messages. But you could use the MSG command, like
Code: Select all
@echo off
msg %username% My message.
AFAIK those doesn't work higher than Win XP.
If so, you could use an implemented VBScript, like
Code: Select all
@echo off &setlocal
set mbox="%temp%\msg.vbs"
>%mbox% echo MsgBox WScript.Arguments(0), 0, WScript.Arguments(1)
%mbox% "My message" "My title"
del %mbox%

You could use the "start" command to start, for instance, notepad with a message. I'm not completely clear on what you're looking to do.
echo Put the text you want here>tmp.txt
start /wait notepad tmp.txt
del tmp.txt

this is an easy one. Code:
msg * Put Your Message Here.
Choice 2:
If you want an more up to date msgbox, then you may want to use VBS.Like Create msg.vbs, Right click and press Edit then Paste
lol = msgbox("Message Goes Here")
Save msg.vbs, then
Edit the .bat and put
@echo off
start msg.vbs
And That Should DO it

My VBScript will probably do the same:
msgbox.vbs
Code: Select all
Option Explicit
Dim n, Text, Title, Style, i, Msg
n = WScript.Arguments.Count
If n < 2 Then WScript.Quit 8
Text = Split(WScript.Arguments(0), "\n")
Title = WScript.Arguments(1)
If n > 2 Then
Style = WScript.Arguments(2)
Else
Style = "okonly"
End If
Msg = Text(0)
If UBound(Text) > 0 Then
For i = 1 To UBound(Text)
Msg = Msg & vbCrLf & Text(i)
Next
End If
Select Case UCase(Style)
Case "OKONLY"
Style = vbOKOnly
Case "OKCANCEL"
Style = VbOKCancel
Case "ABORTRETRYIGNORE"
Style = VbAbortRetryIgnore
Case "YESNOCANCEL"
Style = VbYesNoCancel
Case "YESNO"
Style = VbYesNo
Case "RETRYCANCEL"
Style = VbRetryCancel
Case Else
Style = vbOKOnly
End Select
WScript.Quit MsgBox(Msg, Style, Title)
msgbox.vbs "Line1[\nLine2...]" "Title" ["Style"]
Styles:OKONLY (default)
OKCANCEL
ABORTRETRYIGNORE
YESNOCANCEL
YESNO
RETRYCANCEL
Returns:Button / Errorlevel:- OK / 1
- Cancel / 2
- Abort / 3
- Retry / 4
- Ignore / 5
- Yes / 6
- No / 7
- Error / 8
