MessageBox not able to click "X" on the msgbox and cancel the script from continuing.
Hello PS Community! I have a message box that works perfectly fine, but I want to adjust my code to be able to cancel the script upon clicking the big red "X" on the message box that pops up.
I tried looking into discussion posts but all the ones I see mention the "Yes" "No" "Cancel" buttons and adding actions to them. Is there any way we can make the "X" as a button I can influence like the above. To Exit the Script when clicked.
Any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
This is my code:
- Hi tsmith92765,
Good day!
It is not possible to rename fields supported by MessageBoxButton. It has fields OK, OKCancel, YesNo, YesNoCancel. You can make use of OKCancel. Although you can create your requirement easily with new form.
Please refer fields section of the url article below.

Thank you.Hey Vinod_5,
I tried your suggestion and it worked! I added a Cancel button, then a Switch Case for when Cancel is hit it'll exit the script running, and from the link I noticed the "X" will call to MessageBoxShow.Cancel value. Making the "X" the same as hitting Cancel.
Thank you for the advice!
