HiI can't tell you exactly,but maybe there is a way to use subclassing to achieve this.Since you are asking this question,you are probably new to Visual Basic,and I actualy didn't help at all.But try looking on the internet,and search for "MsgBox subclassing",or something similar.Cheers

here's the code for that.

 

Make a module, Module1, and type (or copy-paste) the following code in it:

Option ExplicitPrivate Type CWPSTRUCT        lParam As Long        wParam As Long        message As Long        hwnd As LongEnd TypePrivate Declare Sub CopyMemory Lib "kernel32" Alias "RtlMoveMemory" (Destination As Any, Source As Any, ByVal Length As Long)Private Declare Function SetWindowsHookEx Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowsHookExA" (ByVal idHook As Long, ByVal lpfn As Long, ByVal hmod As Long, ByVal dwThreadId As Long) As LongPrivate Declare Function CallNextHookEx Lib "user32" (ByVal hHook As Long, ByVal nCode As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Any) As LongPrivate Declare Function UnhookWindowsHookEx Lib "user32" (ByVal hHook As Long) As LongPrivate Declare Function SetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long, ByVal dwNewLong As Long) As LongPrivate Declare Function CallWindowProc Lib "user32" Alias "CallWindowProcA" (ByVal lpPrevWndFunc As Long, ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal Msg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As LongPrivate Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Any) As LongPrivate Declare Function GetClassName Lib "user32" Alias "GetClassNameA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal nMaxCount As Long) As LongPrivate Const WH_CALLWNDPROC = 4Private Const GWL_WNDPROC = (-4)Private Const WM_CTLCOLORBTN = &H135Private Const WM_DESTROY = &H2Private Const WM_SETTEXT = &HCPrivate Const WM_CREATE = &H1Private lHook As LongPrivate lPrevWnd As LongPrivate bCustom As BooleanPrivate sButtons() As StringPrivate lButton As LongPrivate sHwnd As StringPublic Function SubMsgBox(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal Msg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long    Dim sText As String        Select Case Msg    Case WM_CTLCOLORBTN        'Customize the MessageBox Buttons if neccessary..        'First Process the Default Action of the Message (Draw the Button)        SubMsgBox = CallWindowProc(lPrevWnd, hwnd, Msg, wParam, ByVal lParam)        'Now Change the Button Text if Required        If Not bCustom Then Exit Function        If lButton = 0 Then sHwnd = ""        'If this Button has Been Modified Already then Exit        If InStr(sHwnd, " " & Trim(Str(lParam)) & " ") Then Exit Function        sText = sButtons(lButton)        sHwnd = sHwnd & " " & Trim(Str(lParam)) & " "        lButton = lButton + 1        'Modify the Button Text        SendMessage lParam, WM_SETTEXT, Len(sText), ByVal sText        Exit Function            Case WM_DESTROY        'Remove the MsgBox Subclassing        Call SetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_WNDPROC, lPrevWnd)    End Select    SubMsgBox = CallWindowProc(lPrevWnd, hwnd, Msg, wParam, ByVal lParam)End FunctionPrivate Function HookWindow(ByVal nCode As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long    Dim tCWP As CWPSTRUCT    Dim sClass As String    'This is where you need to Hook the Messagebox    CopyMemory tCWP, ByVal lParam, Len(tCWP)    If tCWP.message = WM_CREATE Then        sClass = Space(255)        sClass = Left(sClass, GetClassName(tCWP.hwnd, ByVal sClass, 255))        If sClass = "#32770" Then            'Subclass the Messagebox as it's created            lPrevWnd = SetWindowLong(tCWP.hwnd, GWL_WNDPROC, AddressOf SubMsgBox)        End If    End If    HookWindow = CallNextHookEx(lHook, nCode, wParam, ByVal lParam)End FunctionPublic Function MsgBoxEx(ByVal Prompt As String, Optional ByVal Buttons As Long = vbOKOnly, Optional ByVal Title As String, Optional ByVal HelpFile As String, Optional ByVal Context As Long, Optional ByRef CustomButtons As Variant) As Long    Dim lReturn As Long        bCustom = (Buttons = vbCustom)    If bCustom And IsMissing(CustomButtons) Then        MsgBox "When using the Custom option you need to supply some Buttons in the ""CustomButtons"" Argument.", vbExclamation + vbOKOnly, "Error"        Exit Function    End If    lHook = SetWindowsHookEx(WH_CALLWNDPROC, AddressOf HookWindow, App.hInstance, App.ThreadID)    'Set the Defaults    If Len(Title) = 0 Then Title = App.Title    If bCustom Then        'User wants to use own Button Titles..        If TypeName(CustomButtons) = "String" Then            ReDim sButtons(0)            sButtons(0) = CustomButtons            Buttons = 0        Else            sButtons = CustomButtons            Buttons = UBound(sButtons)        End If    End If    lButton = 0        'Show the Modified MsgBox    lReturn = MsgBox(Prompt, Buttons, Title, HelpFile, Context)    Call UnhookWindowsHookEx(lHook)    'If it's a Custom Button MsgBox, Alter the Return Value    If bCustom Then lReturn = lReturn - (UBound(CustomButtons) + 1)    bCustom = False    MsgBoxEx = lReturnEnd Function

The code for creating the custom button will be:

Dim aButtons(0) As String    aButtons(0) = "Go"z = aButtons(MsgBoxEx("Text", vbCustom, "Title", , , aButtons))

Do whatever you feel like with that 'z' in the code.

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..
