    Perhaps through API calls, but you can easily create a form that looks like a msgbox and do whatever you want with it.

    well, i have played around with that very idea, but I'm having a lot of trouble passing data back and forth with the two forms, and also in making the form behave like a message box.

    in this case:
    I put 3 buttons on a form that emulates a msgbox. depending on the button clicked, the second form will return a value of 1, 2, or 3 to a public variable from the original form. It always returns zero. Also, a message box should stop the forms activity until it has been responded to. I was only able to do that with a
    do
    doevents
    loop until (a value is returned from the msgbox form)

    and still it only returns zero.

    ANyway, ideas?

    Code:
    Yourmsgboxform.Show vbModal, yourmainform
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

    Go to search in this forum, and do a search by member of
    Aaron Young.

    He answered this Q almost 2 months ago.

    Good Luck.
