Hi,

Is there a way to show a message that disappears after 5 sec ?

With the action "Show Message", the user has to click on OK to continue. It's not very interesting because my task stops.
With the action "Question Dialog" (that has a feature
"Autochoice")  I need to create an useless variable to manage the
"Yes/No" behaviour.

Any idea ?
Thanx

"Show message" action is designed as interactive action. If you want autonomic work of task you should avoid to use such actions. Try to use "Log message" action which write message into log of task.

"Show message" useful to inform user about some events (mail incoming, network messages, file changes) and requires interactive actions from user (press OK button). I advise you to discard this step in your task.

OK.

I would thank you for adding the Keyboard System Variables.
Robotask gets more powerful with these features !
