The Popup method displays a message box regardless of which host executable file is running (WScript.exe or CScript.exe). If nSecondsToWaitis equals zero (the default), the pop-up message box remains visible until closed by the user. If nSecondsToWaitis is greater than zero, the pop-up message box closes after nSecondsToWait seconds. If you do not supply the argument strTitle, the title of the pop-up message box defaults to "Windows Script Host." The meaning of nType is the same as in the Microsoft Win32® application programming interface MessageBox function. The following tables show the values and their meanings. You can combine values in these tables.

To display text properly in RTL languages such as Hebrew or Arabic, add hex &h00100000 (decimal 1048576) to the
nType parameter.

The return value intButton denotes the number of the button that the user clicked. If the user does not click a button before nSecondsToWait seconds, intButton is set to -1.
