I would like to use messagebox in my code but get the above error msg.
I use MsgBox but think that messagebox is more flexable and have more features.

Do I need a messagebox function to get this to work or what do I have to "import"?

MsgBox() is a function and MessageBox is a class in System.Windows.Forms, which has the Show() method.

[pre]MsgBox("Hello !")[/pre]

does the same as

[pre]MessageBox.Show("Hello !")[/pre]
 
Hi Mikrom

Thk for replying to my Q
Ok so as I understand you there is NO diff btwn the two MagBox and MessageBox?
I was undet the impression that the latter had more options etc.
