Can I control what text appears on msgbox function buttons?
Sure do like NOT having to build a form to show a msg
and solicit a YES/NO response. MsgBox function is a great solution
for that.
Sure would like NOT to have to build a form to show a msg
and solicit a BIG/LITTLE or ON/OFF or RED/BLUE response.
Wish I could pop up a msgbox and assign the text i wanted onto
the button(s). Possible?

Alrighty then. I'll stick with msgbox 's like this...
"Do you want the big one? Press Yes for the
big one and No for the small one."
That'll continue to do the job for me. AFAIK, No.

should contain enough information to allow a VBA programmer to change
the text of the command buttons on a MsgBox. I don't know if later
editions exist. I haven't tried this yet. It involves topics like
finding object handles, manipulating device contexts and subclassing.
Maybe I'll play around with it this weekend.

Hi Terry,
I seem to recall a few years ago on cdma a discussion on some issues
using windows hooks (if that's the correct term). Is Randy Birch's
method free of this issue, if there indeed was an issue I mentioned (I
could be imagining it, I'm not sure...)?

Cool solution. However, I had a problem in the "With" Statement
of the following function. I'm sure its a typo - just dunno what to
substitute for AddressOfMsgBox HookProc.
Public Function MessageBoxH(hwn dThreadOwner As Long, hwndOwner As
Long) As Long
'Wrapper function for the MessageBox API
Dim hInstance As Long
Dim hThreadId As Long
'Set up the CBT (computer-based training) hook
hInstance = GetWindowLong(h wndThreadOwner, GWL_HINSTANCE)
hThreadId = GetCurrentThrea dId()
'set up the MSGBOX_HOOK_PAR AMS values
'By specifying a Windows hook as one
'of the params, we can intercept messages
'sent by Windows and thereby manipulate
'the dialog
With MSGHOOK
.hwndOwner = hwndOwner
.hHook = SetWindowsHookE x(WH_CBT, _
AddressOfMsgBox HookProc, _
hInstance, hThreadId)
End With
'call the MessageBox API and return the
'value as the result of the function. The
'Space$(120) statements assures the messagebox
'is wide enough for the message that will
'be set in the hook.
'
'NOTE: I am setting the text in the hook only
'for demo purposes, to show how its done. You
'certainly can pass the title and prompt text
'right in the API call instead.
MessageBoxH = MessageBox(hwnd Owner, _
Space$(120), _
Space$(120), _
MB_ABORTRETRYIG NORE Or MB_ICONINFORMAT ION)
End Function
You've got a space missing after AddressOf
AddressOfMsgBox HookProc
should be
AddressOf MsgBoxHookProc
