Is it possible to change the MsgBox font size to something larger?

[adi316]

also can i change the font itself and what is the newline char for the msgbox text

 

[mattKnight]

As far I as I know the font cannot be changed with the standard message box, however there are alternatives out there!

As for new line vbNewline works for me!

No you can't change the standard message box, but you don't have to use it. You can create your own form to display whatever you want or you can search

http://www.planetsourcecode.com

for alternative "message boxes" that other programmers have posted. Thanks and Good Luck!

Well, yes it can...but it's not particularly straightforward. It has been covered several times in this forum. Just do a keyword search on MsgBox and Font

Do a search on:
MSGBOXTEXT
and it will take you to two examples.

Note: these examples do more than just change the font, so you will need to change as needed - be careful though, if you do the wrong thing the program will crash with-out a chirp, so use a test project first. Dump the TimerProc into a seperate Module and keep the code away from everything else you write. [/b][/i][/u]*******************************************************

>its much harder to use then the standard msgbox
The API message box function is not that hard to use...just if you want to change the fonts, etc., which cannot be done with the standard msgbox either.
Other wise, just remove all the other code. [/b][/i][/u]*******************************************************
