messagebox text

[divjoy]

Hi Guys,

I use message box.show a lot in my apps but am looking for some way to format the message text to make it larger and for it to stand out.

I scoured the net but couldn't find any answer.


Maybe it can't be done!
Kind regardd

It may be possible, altho difficult, to make your own "message box".
Create a form for that purpose. Your mbox wouldn't have to be as powerful as
VB's

As suggested, you'll have to create your own form because the MessageBox class doesn't support formatting. Even then though, most text display controls don't support formatting either. The only standard controls that come to mind are a WebBrowser to display HTML and a RichTextBox to display RTF. The alternative would be using GDI+ to draw the text yourself, which would be effective but complex.
