msgbox not appearing

[adevins76]

I was writting and script and tried to add a msgbox to make sure that my script was working correctly up to that point. When  added it nothing appeared. then i wrote a simple one.... nothing any ideas? is there some sort of setting that i need to change. I'm pretty new to diadem.

my simple script (as simple as they come):

sub hello ()

msgbox("hello")

end sub 

and i got nothing... is there something wrong with my syntax? any help would be great. thanks

Hello!

Silly question: Do you call the sub somewhere?

yes

AFAIK is there no setting that can cause this strange behaviour. What you can try, just to see if it makes a difference, is to use the old fashioned MsgBoxDisp command.

Previosuly you asked whether i called the sub or not. I tried just running this sub as its own independant sub, is there something else i need to add to the code or elsewhere. im kinda new to coding so i apologize for lack of knowledge

If you define a sub you have to call it. Try this code:

Call hello()

sub hello ()
  msgbox("hello")
end sub
