I have in the Window a button that supossed to launch a messageBox, the detail is when it run in preview mode, the button no react, a text in simple quotes and double quotes and not run the code or display the message. the ignition version is 7.9.

In the next archives display the window with the button “Enviar” and the Component Scripting

```auto
system.gui.messageBox("Gondola registrada exitosamente en la via 1")

```

also try with:

```auto
system.gui.messageBox('Gondola registrada exitosamente en la via 1')

```

Your screenshot suggests that you’ve attached this script to “Group 15” instead of the pushbutton. The group won’t get clicks that land on the components within. Also, for buttons, you should use the `actionPerformed` event, instead of the `mouseClicked` event.
