Changing the size of the font of msgbox function

**Kings** · Sep 21st, 2001, 04:41 PM

why don't you add another form to your project
and make it the same as a msgbox.
Very easily done and you can change whatever you like

I dont think its possible to change the font of a msgbox. I believe its a standered message with unchangeable text properties. However i am new to vb so i may and quiet possibly be wrong. But i agree with Kings idea making a new form would be just as easy then you can change size colour font etc.

**GavinUk** · Sep 24th, 2001, 03:27 PM

Wicked thanks for link.

DaoK · Sep 24th, 2001, 04:07 PM

This link is usefull but I am sure than you can make your own msgbox who will be much easy

**Kings** · Sep 25th, 2001, 01:12 PM

yeh, do what daok says.

That is much better cause you can have your own logos, pictures, buttons, labels or what ever you like in it

Hi
I am not a professional, but what I know that your request is impossible

you should make your own MsgBox function

thanks

They have the same topic in the General forum, you can add a new button in just before the [-] one but you cant change font or icon.

You can't download it yet. I've just started it yet.

I should change my sig into Dowload SWP...Sometime

Where is everyone getting this idea that setting the font is impossible?? It is possible. Subclass the messagebox, and send the WM_SETFONT message to it.

I'll see if I can post some code.
