Msgbox Problem

[broodkop]

I am using Visual Studio 2003 Enterprise Architect on a Windows 2000 OS. When trying to create a simple messagebox usin the following:
msgbox("hello")
The messagebox displays but the text hello does not appear and the button does not contain any text. I have tried reinstalling Visual Studio but this did not seem to fix the problem. Is there a way to fix this problem? Inputbox works fine.

msgbox is part of the microsoft.visualbasic namespace and is only there for backwards compatibility reasons. Instead use ..

Messagebox.show

 

[broodkop]

MessageBox.Show

This also does not work. It just does not shoe any thing in the box.

MessageBox.Show("Hello", "Title", MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Error)

Several options are here also,
"Hello" is the text
"Title" is the text in the title bar.
MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel displays the OK and Cancel Buttons
MessageBoxIcon.Error shows the red X icon

There are several options for each (MessageBoxButtons & MessageBoxIcon)

Try it with the options and see what stuff shows up and what doesn't.

Hope this helps.
