There are many way you can make messagebox function work as you want. It's general sint. is:
?messagebox('message you want to display, ;
box_qualifiers, ;
'box title')
NOTE: remember ; indicates that the command, function, etc. continues in the next line.
It seems that u're mainly interested in box_qualifiers. You may use 3 operands here:
op1: 0-5 - number/type of buttons (try them out!)
op2: 16, 32, 48 or 64, any of these values, representing an icon that appears in the messagebox (stop, question mark, exclamation mark, information, respect.)
op3: 0, 256 or 512, any of thes values, indicating which is the default button (1st, 2nd, 3rd respect.)
For example, you can compose the following box_qualifier:
4+32+0
which gives you two buttons, Yes/No, a question mark, and 1st button (Yes) as default button.
In other words:
?messagebox('Your matter...', 4+32+0, 'Your title...')
You can try it out at the Command window. The funtion's result is send to VFP main window.
