I just added a simple line

MessageBox("Nice Day!","Hello");

seperately in a blank script and a blank indicator. After running the script and indicator,
I found a message box popped out in script but nothing happened in indicator.

Could anybody tell me the reason? Many thanks!!

script file:

int start()
  {
   MessageBox("Nice Day!","Hello");
   return(0);
  }

indicator file:

#property indicator_chart_window
int init()
  {
   return(0);
  }
int deinit()
  {
   return(0);
  }
int start()
  {
   int    counted_bars=IndicatorCounted();
   MessageBox("Nice Day!","Hello");
   return(0);
  }

Running script file, a message box will be popped out. But indicator file cannot do that.

:(
