Here are lists of MsgBoxes:

Syntax:
MsgBox Prompt, MsgBoxStyle, Title, HelpFile

MsgBox "Uh, text!", , "Uh, Title!"
MsgBox "Uh, text!", vbCritical, "Uh, Title!"
MsgBox "Uh, text!", vbExclamation, "Uh, Title!"
MsgBox "Uh, text!", vbInformation, "Uh, Title!"
MsgBox "Uh, text!", vbOKCancel, "Uh, Title!"
MsgBox "Uh, text!", vbQuestion, "Uh, Title!"
MsgBox "Uh, text!", vbYesNo, "Uh, Title!"
MsgBox "Uh, text!", vbYesNoCancel, "Uh, Title!"
MsgBox "Uh, text!", vbRetryCancel, "Uh, Title!"
MsgBox "Uh, text!", vbOKOnly, "Uh, Title!"
MsgBox "Uh, text!", vbAbortRetryIgnore, "Uh, Title!"
MsgBox "Uh, text!", vbMsgBoxHelpButton, "Uh, Title!", "C:\HelpFile.hlp"

You can also combine them:
MsgBox "Uh, text!", vbExclamation + vbYesNoCancel, "Uh, Title!"

This is great for noobs.

hmm.. maybe you could post how to code what happens when each button is pressed (incase there is more than the OK button)..
i don't use too much of VB myself.. C#.net is nice.

If you do this, each button will be different BUT only for two button (<> vbCancel means the command for OK):

CODE

If MsgBox("Uh, Text!" vbInformation + vbOKCancel, "Uh, Title) <> vbCancel Then
Form1.Load
End If

There should be more helpful for noobs and how to do commands with them. Yes they do bring up a dialog with text but you can also do more with them like confirmations.

here is the code for a yes/no/cancel msgbox

CODE

ync = MsgBox("Click on yes or no or cancel", vbYesNoCancel + vbQuestion, "Title")
If ync = vbYes Then
'code goes here
ElseIf ync = vbNo Then
'code goes here
ElseIf ync = vbCancel Then
'code goes here
End If

Yes. iT IS GOOD. bUT YOU KNOW, IT IS simple version of WinAPI's mESSAGEBoX function. MessageBox has got more possibilities.

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?

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

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..

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.
