Is it possible to make custom buttons in a message box?

[slenish]

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if its possible to make custom buttons in a message box?

For example instead of the normal vbOKCancel is there a way to change the buttons to say anything I choose?

I have a feeling its not possible, but it never hurts to ask.


Thanks for the help

slen :D

Hello Slenish,

I don't believe you can.

Usually to make a custom dialoge box you can just create a new form and set it to Modal and remove all the navigation buttons etc. and put whatever you want.

Mshmyob is absolutely correct. That is the situation, as well as the typical solution to it.

Thank you mshmyob, and NeoPa,

Yeah i had a feeling that might be the answer.

You can always cheat ... instead of using a message box why don't you call a form where you can write whatever you want on your buttons, it looks better too ;)


oh, I just noticed that mshmyob answered that ... Damn he's good!

Hi,

I see that this question is already answered to your satisfaction (and it is the best approach to your problem); however I would point out that through the use of some Windows API calls what you originally asked might be possible. I have seen similar tasks accomplished but it requires a great deal of esoteric code (code that I certainly don't understand), and definitely requires more effort than simply designing your own modal form.

Just my $0.02!

As a side note, you can 'Spruce Up' your Message Boxes to a limited extent.
