Change Message Box Button labels for one messagebox

[manpaul]

I would like to change the wording that comes with the messagebox buttons.

instead of using yes no and cancel I would like to say

Search Invoicing
Search Inventory Part Number
Search Inventory Acct Code

Now I want the messagebox to process the same way just different labels on the buttoens

You will have to create your own little form to emulate the messagebox and add your own buttons.

Set the border style to 2 - Fixed dialogue
Set MinButton and MaxButton to .F.
Set WindowType to 1 - Modal

Set up your buttons so they close the form and return a value.

I like work. It fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours...

You can't change it today, but the future has a really cool thing called a TaskDialog...it's coming in Windows Vista. You can have "buttons" with any text you want, plus a description of what those buttons will do. I just saw it demoed here at the PDC and it's way cool.

Not true. I change the captions on all of the messagebox buttons in my example that is at the link that tamayok linked to above. However, it does require the FLL I created to bind to CBT events in the Windows OS.

On the Taskdialog... sounds really cool. I can't wait to get ahold of Windows Vista and try out some the new features and APIs.
