Solution 1

You will need to look at the Task Dialog[^], I think.

A good link, although harder to customize than Joan Murt's solution. Fived nevertheless.

On reflection you are correct.

Solution 2

The best option you have is to create your own messagebox dialog...

Create a dialog and pass the like the parameters needed for the MessageBox to it and after that show it using DoModal.

This will make it...

Hope this helps. :thumbsup:
