MessageBox blank

[Ianhoc]

I have a very basic application to test a problem
The only code added to a C# Windows Form Application is:

MessageBox.Show ("Test Message", "Test Caption");

The caption shows but the message is blank and so is the button.
Any ideas?
WinXP SP2
Visual Studio 2003 (7.1.3088)
..Net Framework 1.1 SP1 (1.1.4322 SP1)
Thanks
Ian

Re: MessageBox blank

You have many options of doing it. Here is a basic one and it works fine.

MessageBox.Show ("Test Message","Test Caption",Messag eBoxButtons.OK) ;

Re: MessageBox blank

It seems McAfee Version 8 is the culprit - disable buffer overrun and all is
okay again.

Go figure!!

Re: MessageBox blank

Ianhoc - I have been tearing my hair out over the exact same
problem!!! Can you give me a little more detail about how you solved
it, please?

Re: MessageBox blank

Thanks for posting the hotfix info Marc - unfortunately I couldn't find it on
McAfee's website. Maybe it is because we don't have a Support contract.

Re: MessageBox blank

Unfortunately, this is a support-only patch. However, McAfee are
aware of the issue, and I would imagine they will roll the fix into
future service releases.
