Thanks again for all the responses. I still haven't been able to get back to this project yet today (even though my QA buddy here is BEGGING me to know when I can get back to it).
So - Peter - sure, you can send it on over to: kurtwendt AT waitex DOT com L8r! -K- -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Peter Hart Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 2010 1:49 PM 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 Cheers Peter -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jeff Johnson Sent: 27 October 2010 18:00 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.
