the visual basic 6's MsgBox class is a wrapper for the MessageBoxA WinAPI call. I think it fills in something like this:

MsgBox "Some text", "a title" 

and replaces it with:

MessageBox(NULL, "Some text", "a title", NULL);

the msdn documentation for MessageBoxA says:

int MessageBox(     

    HWND hWnd,

    LPCTSTR lpText,

    LPCTSTR lpCaption,

    UINT uType

);

 

so, all the MsgBox class does is replace the hWnd (handle) of the window with NULL and if you dont fill in a parameter it will full in NULL while calling the API call.

 

hope this clears up some questions with the MsgBox class.

Hmmm... He's talking about the types of Messagebox in VB.NET or VB.

Probably many doesn't understand what the code does...

Let me explain them with screenshots..

 

Normal Message Boxes

Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("This is a plain messagebox.")

Is shown as

 

Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("This is a plain messagebox." & vbCrLf & "It's got a caption too.", "This is the caption.")

Is shown as

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Message Boxes with Different Button Types

Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("It's got Abort, Retry, Cancel buttons.", "", MessageBoxButtons.AbortRetryIgnore)

Is shown as

 

Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("It's got OK button.", "", MessageBoxButtons.OK)

Is shown as

 

Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("It's got OK, Cancel buttons.", "", MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel)

Is shown as

 

Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("It's got Retry, Cancel buttons.", "", MessageBoxButtons.RetryCancel)

Is shown as

 

Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("It's got Yes, No buttons.", "", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo)

Is shown as

 

Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("It's got Yes, No, Cancel buttons.", "", MessageBoxButtons.YesNoCancel)

Is shown as

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Message Boxes with Different Alert Types

Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("An Asterisk type icon.", "", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Asterisk)

Is shown as

 

Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("An Error type icon.", "", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)

Is shown as

 

Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("An Exclamation type icon.", "", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation)

Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("A Hand type icon.", "", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Hand)

Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("A Question type icon.", "", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Question)

Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("A Stop type icon.", "", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Stop)

Is shown as

 

Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("A Warning type icon.", "", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Warning)

Is shown as

 

I've created an example on VB.NET 2003.

yes, the windows.forms.messagebox.show is also a wrapper for the MessageBoxA API call i beleive. it is basically the same as Visual Basic 6.0's MsgBox function, just a slightly different syntax. I never bothered with vb.net because c++ is just still alot better for directly accessing memory... however, if managed code becomes the new standard, i guess i would do .netbtw, MessageBoxButtons.OK and etc. are just constants representing hex code that is defined in some windows header that is included when you compile.

Could we change buttom "YES","NO","CANCEL" to other caption?

[Inspiron 0]

You can change the caption, or the title, of any messagebox. The only thing you cannot change is the text of the buttons in a messagebox.However if you want to have a customised button text, you can make another form that opens as a dialog, to imitate the effects of a messagebox. This way, not even you can customise the button text of the messagebox, you can also add background pictures, sound effects, colors, and even add a customised icon.Basically just treat the form as a messagebox and customise it..

Hi

 

You can do as Inspiron said,make a whole new form,and place controls as you like them.

 

I was never good in subclassing,but I believe changing button captions can be done using subclassing.I would love to give the example,but as I said,I'm no good with subclassing.As always,I direct people to use the web,Yahoo or Google a bit,and dig out some information that is of interest to you.Because,nothing can stick in peoples minds better,than hard way of finding some info out.Check Planet Source Code (http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/default.asp?lngWId=1) for examples on MsgBox usage,maybe there are some of customizing this function.
