QUOTE(dul @ Oct 19 2005, 06:38 PM) Yes. iT IS GOOD. bUT YOU KNOW, IT IS simple version of WinAPI's mESSAGEBoX function. MessageBox has got more possibilities.  the visual basic 6's MsgBox class is a wrapper for the MessageBoxA WinAPI call. I think it fills in something like this: CODE MsgBox "Some text", "a title" and replaces it with: CODE MessageBox(NULL, "Some text", "a title", NULL); the msdn documentation for MessageBoxA says: QUOTE int MessageBox( HWND hWnd, LPCTSTR lpText, LPCTSTR lpCaption, UINT uType ); so, all the MsgBox class does is replace the hWnd (handle) of the window with NULL and if you dont fill in a parameter it will full in NULL while calling the API call. hope this clears up some questions with the MsgBox class. |

Hmmm... He's talking about the types of Messagebox in VB.NET or VB.
Probably many doesn't understand what the code does... Let me explain them with screenshots.. Normal Message Boxes CODE Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("This is a plain messagebox.") Is shown as  CODE Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("This is a plain messagebox." & vbCrLf & "It's got a caption too.", "This is the caption.") Is shown as  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message Boxes with Different Button Types CODE Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("It's got Abort, Retry, Cancel buttons.", "", MessageBoxButtons.AbortRetryIgnore) Is shown as  CODE Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("It's got OK button.", "", MessageBoxButtons.OK) Is shown as  CODE Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("It's got OK, Cancel buttons.", "", MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel) Is shown as  CODE Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("It's got Retry, Cancel buttons.", "", MessageBoxButtons.RetryCancel) Is shown as  CODE Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("It's got Yes, No buttons.", "", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) Is shown as  CODE Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("It's got Yes, No, Cancel buttons.", "", MessageBoxButtons.YesNoCancel) Is shown as  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message Boxes with Different Alert Types CODE Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("An Asterisk type icon.", "", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Asterisk) Is shown as  CODE Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("An Error type icon.", "", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error) Is shown as  CODE Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("An Exclamation type icon.", "", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation) Is shown as  CODE Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("A Hand type icon.", "", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Hand) Is shown as  CODE Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("An Information type icon.", "", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information) Is shown as  CODE Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("A None type icon.", "", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.None) Is shown as  CODE Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("A Question type icon.", "", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Question) Is shown as  CODE Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("A Stop type icon.", "", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Stop) Is shown as  CODE Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("A Warning type icon.", "", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Warning) Is shown as  I've created an example on VB.NET 2003.

yes, the windows.forms.messagebox.show is also a wrapper for the MessageBoxA API call i beleive. it is basically the same as Visual Basic 6.0's MsgBox function, just a slightly different syntax. I never bothered with vb.net because c++ is just still alot better for directly accessing memory... however, if managed code becomes the new standard, i guess i would do .net
btw, MessageBoxButtons.OK and etc. are just constants representing hex code that is defined in some windows header that is included when you compile. |

You can change the caption, or the title, of any messagebox. The only thing you cannot change is the text of the buttons in a messagebox.
However if you want to have a customised button text, you can make another form that opens as a dialog, to imitate the effects of a messagebox. This way, not even you can customise the button text of the messagebox, you can also add background pictures, sound effects, colors, and even add a customised icon. Basically just treat the form as a messagebox and customise it.. |

Hi
You can do as Inspiron said,make a whole new form,and place controls as you like them. I was never good in subclassing,but I believe changing button captions can be done using subclassing.I would love to give the example,but as I said,I'm no good with subclassing.As always,I direct people to use the web,Yahoo or Google a bit,and dig out some information that is of interest to you.Because,nothing can stick in peoples minds better,than hard way of finding some info out.Check Planet Source Code (http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/) for examples on MsgBox usage,maybe there are some of customizing this function. Cheers |

How do I change the text of a msgbox button, because I'm using them to open to different form. For example.
I'll have the message box sayin "What would to like to do next?" Then ideally I want two buttons with the text "View Accounts" on one and "Finish" on the other? |
