Re: Messagebox with timeout

Hi I think you'll have to create your own messagebox for that (a normal form
and use it's form.showialog method)

Stanley,

Create your own messagebox from a form and show that with showdialog. Than
it is very easy to do what you ask.

I hope this helps,

No. You can create your own Form and use it instead.

.... alternatively you can use p/invoke. A VB6 sample can be found here:

Re: Messagebox with timeout

If using XP, another alternative is the MessageBoxTimeo ut function.

Declare Function MessageBoxTimeo ut Lib "user32.dll " Alias
"MessageBoxTime outA" (_
Byval hwnd As Long, _
Byval lpText As String, _
Byval lpCaption As String, _
Byval uType As Long, _
Byval wLanguageID As Long, _
Byval lngMilliseconds As Long) As Long

Same as MessageBoxEx but with an additional timeout parameter.

You'll have to check for the behavior you want.
