Silly suggestion because:
1) You'd need at least 142 string resources!
You use string resources in your FrmCustomAlerts?
FrmCustomAlert( "bla", 0, 0);
works better than opening up resources, locking, etc, imo.
2) More coding!
Really? How? Changing some FrmAlerts to FrmCustomAlerts?
3) Less readable code, provided your alerts have sensible names!
How is it less readable? You know right in the code what each alert is
FrmCustomAlert( "A fatal error has occured", 0, 0 );
FrmAlert( errFatalAlert );
I personally prefer the first.
4) More difficult to localize!
Judging by the product page, Auriga isn't localised...
So, maybe it's just a matter of opinion. Personally I prefer nicer
resources. However, I hardly think my suggestion is 'silly.'

Why not have one alert with FrmCustomAlert?
