- Message Box Designer 1.2.1
- by Patrick McNeill
-
- Message Box Designer(MBD) is a Visual Basic 4.0 add in. It is simply a
- frontend for creating code for message boxes. MBD now supports VB4's help
- context sensitive message boxes. MBD's interface fairly straight-forward,
- but I'll go through how to use it anyways...
-
- <First time only>
- 1. Run the MSGBOX.EXE file to add it to the VB.INI file.
- 2. In VB, go to the Add-In Manager under the Add-Ins menu.
- 3. Double click on Message Box Designer.
-
- <Here's how to use it>
- 1. Select Message Box Designer from under the Add-Ins menu.
- 2. Type the text of the message box in the Text field.
- 3. Type the title of the message box in the Title field.
- 4. Choose what type of buttons you want from the Buttons group.
- 5. Choose what icon you want from the Icon group.
- 6. Choose the default button from the Default Button group.
- 7. Check System Modal if you want it to be system modal.
- 8. Check Help File if you want the message box to be helpful.:)
- 9. If you checked Help File, type in a Help Context number in the Context box.
- 10. Click Test It! to make sure it works.
- 11. Click Make It! to copy the code to the clip board.
- 12. Paste the code in to your project where you want it.
-
- Easy, huh?:) Well, hope you like it!
-
- If you want to be really nice, you could send me a few dollars as registration,
- but I'm not requiring it on this program.
