Custom msgboxes

Hello,

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to use user (me) specified images/icon in a msgbox. Instead of the usual information, exclamation .... I would like to use some custom made images.... Can this be done and if so how?

Thanks,

Daniel

No. Create your own forms and open / use them as message boxes.

Not simple with the built-in MsgBox(), but easy to make your own.

Create a simple unbound form, with an Image control, display text box, and 3
command buttons.

Use OpenForm on your dialog in acDialog, and pass the values it needs in
OpenArgs. Set the Picture property of the Image control to the desired
graphic.

Daniel,

Sure you can do it, but like Allen said, it's not simple:

Daniel,

I just re-read your question, and it seems the code I offered doesn't meet
your requirements.

It can be done, but it's not trivial, and I don't think anyone's done it
yet.

Here's a custom form and code already set up to just import and do custom
MsgBoxes with full functionality, including the ability to run functions.
