Simple Message Box

[xplorer-ex 0]

hi all, heres a simple tutorial on how to make a message box in VB

start a new form in visual basic,

draw a command button which should contain the text "Command1" when drawn,

double click on the button, and write the code

msgbox "Hello World", vbcritical, "Xplorer_3X Says..."

so your code should look like this;

Private Sub Command1_Click()msgbox "Hello World", vbcritical, "Xplorer_3X Says..."end sub

Now compile the project and click on the button, and Wa-laa, there she be.

I'm not sure about the use of "vbcritical" as I've never seen that before while using Visual Basic =/ Simply

Msgbox('Enter Text')

would do the job assuming you're using the .NET version of VB.

MsgBox(prompt[, buttons] [, title] [, helpfile, context])

Buttons argument; can be combined using butwise operator OR:

 

This is the list of available constants that determine which buttons will appear on the message box:

0 - vbOKOnly - OK button only.

1 - vbOKCancel - OK and Cancel buttons.

2 - vbAbortRetryIgnore - Abort, Retry, and Ignore buttons.

3 - vbYesNoCancel - Yes, No, and Cancel buttons.

4 - vbYesNo - Yes and No buttons.

5 - vbRetryCancel - Retry and Cancel buttons.

This is the list of available constants that determine which images will appear on the message box:

16 - vbCritical - Critical Message icon.

32 - vbQuestion - Warning Query icon.

48 - vbExclamation -Warning Message icon.

64 - vbInformation - Information Message icon.

There are some more constants, determinig behaviour of the buttons, or the message box itself, but they can be found in the Visual Basic help...

 

MsgBox can also be used as a function, where it returns different values, for different buttons that are pressed:

1 - vbOK - OK

2 - vbCancel - Cancel

3 - vbAbort - Abort

4 - vbRetry - Retry

5 - vbIgnore - Ignore

6 - vbYes - Yes
