MSGBOX HELP!

[JuanFelipe]

Good afternoon, is there any way to change the text of the buttons on the Msgbox?

JuanFelipe,

Look at my ExtMsgBox UDF - the link is in my sig below.

Melba is wonderful, thank you very much. Excuse my ignorance as I am a little new, you could explain me with an example like this:

msgbox (64, "Hello", "Want morning or afternoon?")

Then the buttons I need are the two options that I have the text.

JuanFelipe,

The function headers in the UDF explain very clearly how to set the various parameters - as you can see here:

;                                      Two focus ampersands returns Error 2. A single button is always default
;                                      Pressing Enter or Space fires default button

But here is the example you requested:

Switch $iRet

    Case 1

Thank you, thank you very much, Melba are admirable. Will study the function again.

Yes, M23 already has wings. The aureole comes a bit later.

JuanFelipe,

Glad I could help.

When you reply in future, please use the "Reply to this topic" button at the top of the thread or the "Reply to this topic" editor at the bottom rather than the "Quote" button - I know what I wrote and it just pads the thread unnecessarily.
