Dialogue box like msgBox?

[xhonzi]

I like msgBox and all, but sometimes I want more options than just Yes,No,Cancel, etc...

I would like to create my own dialogue boxes with options like "Delete" "Move" "Ignore", etc... I found the inputBox method, but I would rather have buttons in the dialogue instead of a text box.

Am I up a creek? What can I do?

Thanks,
Xhonzi

Oh, and I know about making another form that will act as a dialogue box, but I want a quick and dirty solution. Something along the lines of the dialoguebox in PerlTk.

See Ya! . . . . . .

This too quick & dirty. You just need to change some text inside the code.

......

      SetDlgItemText wParam, IDABORT, "Button1 Caption"
      SetDlgItemText wParam, IDRETRY, "Button2 Caption"
      SetDlgItemText wParam, IDIGNORE, "Button3 Caption"



==================================
   Select Case MessageBoxH(Me.hwnd, GetDesktopWindow())
      Case IDABORT:
      MsgBox "You Selected Search C:\"

      Case IDRETRY:
      MsgBox "You Selected Search D:\"

      Case IDIGNORE:
      MsgBox "You Selected CANCEL"

   End Select

The rest is Microsoft's kindness CTRL+A, CTRL+C and CTRL+V.

Could be quicker and could be dirtier, but I'll try it out.

Thanks,
