[Help] Relocating the MSGBOX

[Patrick Pirtle]

Is it possible to programmatically position the
msgbox? I've got dual monitors, and, although
I can place my app in the center of one monitor,
any msgboxes show up split between the two
monitors. Is my only option to add userforms
to replace the msgboxes?

Thanks, in advance, for your help and suggestions.

Maybe with a dialog hook, but that's a lot of effort for a little
effect.

Thanks for your reply, Herfried. Sounds like my
easiest option is to simply create replacements for
the message boxes.

I think that's not as difficult as it looks.

Here is the reply I posted to your other tread (or is it a bug in my
newsreader?):

If you want to build a replacement, have a look at the 'SystemIcons'
class.

For playing the message sounds, have a look here:
