Custom Buttons in a MsgBox

Question

Hi all,

Is it possible to create a MsgBox where you can put a couple of buttons with your own Text on the buttons? At the moment it seems we are just limited to the default ones like OkCancel, YesNoCancel etc.

I need a quick prompt (without using a new form) where the user decided whether to "Open for Viewing" or "Open for Editing", that's all, just two buttons.

Thanks,

A

Answer 1

What causes the need for the two buttons in the first place? Does the user click a button then you want to show the msg box with the two choices? Perhaps you can just use two buttons in the first place. Button 1 is open for viewing and button 2 is open for editing. Instead of a button that leads to a message box with two more buttons.

Otherwise you are looking at using apis to modify the msg box as in this thread:

Or you can just make a new form with the buttons you want.

Ah right I see. Makes sense. Thanks a lot for your answer.
