I don't know about VB.Net, but in VB6 I would say "no, definitely not". Not directly from VB using the MsgBox function, that is. There are probably ways around the problem, though. For example:

• Create your own "message box" window and use xxx.Show vbModal to display it.
• There may be an API call which will allow you to generate a popup message with customised properties.

Of the two, the former would be quicker and simpler to implement, while the latter may (or may not) have some other advantages.
