How to Add Spaces and Lines in Message Box?

[Hiren Joshi]

Hi,

I am displaying a message in Message Box but it comes in only 1 line....

Is there any way i can make 2 or 3 lines wherever i want in Message Box display? I mean to say I need Line Break in Message Box.

E.g. My Message is supposed to read as follows:

"You had Enough Attempt of Login,

You have Tried 3 Unsuccessful Logins,

System Terminating"

Please help,

Hiren

try to use this

msgbox "You had Enough Attempt of Login" & chr(13) & "You have Tried 3 Unsuccessful Logins" & chr(13) & "System Terminating"
 

[Hiren Joshi]

You are Great Debasis,

It works... What is chr(13) for? is it for Line Break or Next Line?

Thanks Buddy

It is better to use vbNewLine in place of chr(13).

Hi Hiren try this another Alternative:

MsgBox "You had Enough Attempt of Login," + vbCrlf + "You have Tried 3 Unsuccessful Logins," + vbCrlf + "System Terminating"

13 is the keycode of ENTER KEY.

and vbCrlf is VisualBasicCarrriageReturnLineFeed.

I recommend using vbNewLine, simply because its purpose is so much more obvious. It has the exact same value as vbCRLF.

Any Advance Function for Message Box? Like Changing the Font, Size and Colour? or Aligning the Font in Center?

All those are not supported . You can design your own component for that or can use any third party tool.

Hi,

You can Create a Custom Message Box of ur own. Add A new Form and Show it Modally, Add any number of buttons/ Place a Label Control to display the message, and Play with other Visual Properties like Fore Colour/ Back Color/ Font/ ICon/ Background Picture...

frmMsg.Show 1

Declare a Form Level Public Variable in (frmMsg) , and In ButtonClick, Populate the Variable with Appropriate Values, And check the Value of this Variable in Calling Form..

Thanks Once Again Debasis,

Any Hint on Creating Own Component?

[debasisdas]

You can design your own usercontrol or refer to the previous post by Qveen72 for an easier solution.

Ok I got the Idea,

Thanks Debasis, Veena

I cant see my other post of Auto Generating the Custom No. While Saving Record? I have posted with the codes I have used. Does it normally take long to Appear in the Forum?

[lohenboy]

acctually the error is

A first chance exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll

[Killer42]

Sorry for the delay.

I think you'll get a better response to this question in the Visual Basic .NET forum. This one is for the older pre-dotnet versions of VB.
