VB 6.0

Can a user using the default msgbox, edit the properties of the msgbox, ie, the picture, font etc.
Or do they have to create a userform, ie, mymsgbox and go that route.

I have a coworker stumped by this dilemma.

Thanks to all

font of a msgbox is plain windows font.... what might be a workaround is chaning the default 'windows textfont' to a desired font, displaying the msgbox, and resetting the plain windows font again... changing the picture of the msgbox is quite hard I guess.... changing the rundll32.exe icons is a difficult job in runtime..... A simple own msgbox form is the most effective and easy way I guess....

I definetely agree with KeeZ.

Even it is possible to change font style or background color or icon, you would never want to walk in those long and complicated codes to figure how to set up API parameters. Yes, there are a lot of source on web what you could find by searching "Message Box API VB" or similar keywords but I am sure I would create my own message box quicker than trying to apply this codes into my application.

I highly suggest (and prefer) creating your own msgbox by a form. You can make it really better than most customizable or cracked (advanced) msgbox methods.

Let me know if you need help about creating your own message box functionality.
