**Resolved** Whats the deal with the 256?

VB Code:

'In general section
Const EWX_LOGOFF = 0
Const EWX_SHUTDOWN = 1
Const EWX_REBOOT = 2
Const EWX_FORCE = 4
Private Declare Function ExitWindowsEx Lib "user32" (ByVal uFlags As Long, ByVal dwReserved As Long) As Long
Private Sub Form_Load()
    'KPD-Team 1998
    'URL: [url]http://www.allapi.net/[/url]
    'E-Mail: [email][email protected][/email]
[b][color=red] msg = MsgBox("This program is going to reboot your computer. Press OK to continue or Cancel to stop.", vbCritical + vbOKCancel + 256, App.Title)[/color][/b]
    If msg = vbCancel Then End
    'reboot the computer
    ret& = ExitWindowsEx(EWX_FORCE Or EWX_REBOOT, 0)
End Sub

So whats the deal with 2^{^}8

This is the same as

vbDefaultButton2

They should have used this really..

ok..

Whats the difference then? having it or not is the same thing.

VB Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
MsgBox "This program is going to reboot your computer. Press OK to continue or Cancel to stop.", vbCritical + vbOKCancel + 256, App.Title
MsgBox "This program is going to reboot your computer. Press OK to continue or Cancel to stop.", vbCritical + vbOKCancel + vbDefaultButton2, App.Title
MsgBox "This program is going to reboot your computer. Press OK to continue or Cancel to stop.", vbDefaultButton2, App.Title
End Sub

:confused:
