The Popup method displays a popup message box window that contains the message contained in strText. The window title of this message box is specified by strTitle. If strTitle is omitted, the window title is Windows Scripting Host.
WshShell.Popup(strText, [natSecondsToWait], [strTitle], [natType]) = intButton
If natSecondsToWait is supplied and its value is greater than zero, the message box window will be closed after natSecondsToWait seconds.
The meaning of natType is the same as in the Win32® MessageBox function. The following table shows the value and its meaning in natType. You can combine values in the following tables.
| Value | Description |
| 0 | Show [OK] button |
| 1 | Show [OK] and [Cancel] buttons |
| 2 | Show [Abort], [Retry] and [Ignore] buttons |
