Bold or italic characters in a msgbox

When I use the msgbox function to show a messagebox to the user, can I set the text of the msgbox to bold or italic?

Thanks in advance!

I think this can be done through API, but I don't know how.
But, you can make your own MessageBox function (you need a form, buttons, and a bit of imagination). Or you can find it on http://www.planetsourcecode.com/vb (in search type Message box).

You can't do it through API - you'd have to make your own.

After you've done that, you'd want to modal it so that nothing else can be accessed until it is unloaded, like a real Msgbox.

Code:

---

Msgfrm.Show vbModal

---

Parksie, at first I thought you meant making my own API :)

But I've created my own msgbox now and it works great. Thanks all!

As I thought it's possible to modify MessageBox through API I was right - now I know it (I found an example). Here's the one I found on PSC:

Hmm...it seems I was confused ;).

I meant you couldn't change parts of the text through API. It's definitely possible to change all of it. Anything else would require some serious coding.
