I want to change the messageBox behaviour in my script

Submitted by Haider of Sweden on Wed, 2014-03-05 13:50

Hello,

I have a script that looks like this:

macroScript AutoBackToggle
	category:"Haider"
	buttonText:"AB-Toggle"
	toolTip:"AutoBackup Toggle"
(
	on isChecked do (autoBackup.enabled)
 
	on execute do 
	if autoBackup.enabled == true then 
	(
		autoBackup.enabled = false 
		/*print (autoBackup.enabled)*/
		messageBox "Autobackup disabled." title:"Autobackup State" beep:false
	)
	else 
	(
		autoBackup.enabled = true
		/*print (autoBackup.enabled)*/
		messageBox "Autobackup enabled." title:"Autobackup State" beep:false
	)
)

The messageBox command will lock the user, forcing one to press OK before continuing.
How do I change the popup to be a regular information popup that doesn't "lock" the viewport?

Replace it with regular rollout.
