Bold text in MsgBox control

[genojoe]

Is it possible to include one line of bold text followed by one line of
regular text in the MsgBox control? What I would like to see is the
following lines
<Bold>The text you entered isn't an item in the list.<Bold>
<Regular>Sele ct an item from the list, or enter text that maches one of the
listed items.<Regular>

Not to my knowledge. As an alternative though you could use a relatively
simple form to replace MessageBox. If you want to go one step further and
retain all the functionality of MessageBox as well as having the option to
boldface (et al) selected portions of the string you could build a Class
that Inherits System.Windows. Forms.MessageBo x and use it in place of
MessageBox.

Hello genojoe,

MyndPhlyp offers an excellent solution.

I would question the practicality of such a msgbox though. It is fairly
useless. More than that.. it's annoying. I would opt to use an ErrorProvider
control instead.
