Change the icon of an InputBox 1

[JPJeffery]

I say, the little icon for the 'Move/Close' menu at the top left corner of an InputBox is a very dull looking affair (impression of a blank white window with the blue title bar).

Is there any way to change it?

By comparison, an ordinary MsgBox doesn't have the menu at all and therefore no icon (and looks all the better for it)...

No, unfortunatley there is not.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Ah well, just a thought.

Thanks, Mark.

Spice it up with a title! I suggest:

input = InputBox("input text here", "HEY!  LOOK AT ME!")

Have fun with it. Go wild. j/k

You know, you can change that title bar icon with Winbatch...but that's besides the point.

Hope This Helps,

Good Luck!

Dude, I know all about titles already (and default text - although I've not found a useful use for it yet), but still that stupid blank white window icon looks really, REALLY naff!

Honestly, it makes my otherwise marvellous script look unfinished, tatty and amateurish.

Anyway, Winbatch, never heard of it. Let me go look.

Thanks!

You can use AutoIt for free to create dialogs as well.

It all sounds good, but for an enterprise application I think I should stick to the standard VB commands et. al.

In that case, you are pretty much stuck. You could look at implementing it as an HTA, then you could jazz it up a little.

Cap in hand, I have to admit, I've no idea what "...implementing it as an HTA..." means...

HTA is HyperText Application. It is HTML with VBScript 'embedded' within.

Hope This Helps,

Good Luck!
