    Custom message box

    Is there anyway that anybody knows of to use message boxes in visual basic but just be able to change the picture on the left hand side? I can't find anything on the internet.

    Before anybody says it, i know i can make a form that looks like a message box, but i would still like to know if there is anyway to change an existing message box's picture.

    Yea, is there anyway to change that symbol? I am asking this, as a user has said it doesn't stand out much. So if i change the picture then maybe it would be more noticeable for the user. I can make a form, but yep i am being lazy as i do not want to go through all the code and change were the message box is.

    MsgBox "You must select a person in the list.", vbCritical, "PBDT120 - ERROR"

    In this code The "vbCritical" will put an "X" on the msgbox

    Only thing I've seen is a third party app that does it, can't remember the name. Not worth the money though, it's really not that tough to do.
