Don't know whether some of the answers refer to my suggestion.
In my applications which now use the Arg-Software Office2007/Office2010
type Ribbon menu, I decided that the standard Message Box clashed with
my Forms. I created new Form Classes that followed the office themes.
I wanted a Message Box which would follow the themes in the title bar
and allow me to change the font and font size, give a graduated
background to the Message Box, allow me to specify the icons used both
in the title area and to the left of the message, multiple lines in the
message and allow me to customize the amount and captions of the
buttons.
I found some code which unfortunately I can't trace where I found it but
in the comments is the text below.
* 11/95 - Windows-compatible button sets copied from FoxTools by
D.Covill
* Reference FoxPro Developers Journal, November 1995,
Page 9
* Original "ALERT" by Steve Ramsower
Perhaps someone can help with this.
I can email you my code direct Kurt if you let me have your email
address. I would have to comment the customisation bits that I added a
bit better first.
I added the instructions to intellisense and it works extremely well for
me
Typeing MsgBox( gives me MsgBox(cMessageText [, cButtons][,
cTitleBarText][,nFormIcon][, nFontSize][, cForeColour][, nTheme]
Filling in the first text for the message gives me
MessageBox()nDialoBoxType Parrameter (additive):
cMessageText [, cButtons][, cTitleBarText][,nFormIcon][, nFontSize][,
cForeColour][, nTheme]
Buttons
0 - OK button Only
1 - OK and Cancel buttons
2 - Abort, Retry and Ignore buttons
3 - Yes, No and Cancel buttons
4 - Yes and No buttons
\<Yes;\<No;\<Don't care
Return Values are the Number above or if text buttons then the number of
the button counting from the left.
So if wrote MsgBox("Is a whale an animal","\<Right;\<Wrong;\:\<don't
know","Questionaire","Whale.ico","13,RGB(255,255,0)",1)
I would get a message box with the message in red font size 13, the
background a graduated blue, A picture of a whale as the Icon next to
the message, Questionaire centered in the title and the titles theme
would be office them 1

Subject: Re: Messagebox & Font Sizing...
This is the approach I take. I create a modal form and make it fit my
application that serves the same purpose as messagebox. I especially
needed it for a touch screen application where I could make the buttons
big enough to click with a finger.
