BoxOpen Last Error 12000

 Keywords: BoxOpen BoxTextLastError Error 12000

Question:

I have just detected that one of my favorite scripts has some deadly issues in some corners of the package (grown by editing over the years).
  1. Create and save a TEST.WBT including the one and only statement: BoxOpen("","").

  2. Call this wbt file by an entry from WSPOPUP.MNU, for example: 
    _TEST
call("D:\TEMP\TEST.WBT","")

  3. Error message follows:
    WIL Extender Error: 12000: This command is not available as a WinBatch Studio menu command
On line:
BoxOpen("","")

Answer:

WSPOPUP.MNU does NOT support the Box commands.

When you CALL the wbt file from WSPOPUP.MNU, the menu processor is running the function.

Choices are to

  1. RUN the file instead of CALL it so that Winbatch executes it.

  2. Remove the BOX command.
