Err... Why don't you just make a new form (frmMsgBox)?

You can just do something like:

frmMsgBox!Text1 = "Testing, 1,2,3"
Load frmMsgBox
frmMsgBox.Show

You can change frmMsgBox!Text1 = "" to whatever you want the message to say. You can add buttons, an icon, etc to it.

Does that work?

I did exactly what you are talking about doing and made it an ActiveX dll using VB6. This is a message box with four large buttons. When you call the message box, you pass in the title for the message box window and you also pass in at least one string value for the button captions, and up to four string values to cover all the button captions. This function will then pass the value back that was pressed.

I'm using one class module and one form module. Here's the code I'm using:

cMsgBoxes Class Module Code:

Option Explicit

Public Function MsgBox4Button(strTitle As String, strcmd1 As String, Optional strcmd2 As String = " ", Optional strcmd3 As String = " ", Optional strcmd4 As String = " ") As String
   
    With frmMsgBox4Button
        .Caption = strTitle
        .cmd1.Caption = strcmd1
        .cmd2.Caption = strcmd2
        .cmd3.Caption = strcmd3
        .cmd4.Caption = strcmd4
        If Trim(.cmd2.Caption) = "" Then .cmd2.Visible = False
        If Trim(.cmd3.Caption) = "" Then .cmd3.Visible = False
        If Trim(.cmd4.Caption) = "" Then .cmd4.Visible = False
    End With
    
    frmMsgBox4Button.Show 1
    MsgBox4Button = frmMsgBox4Button.Response
    Unload frmMsgBox4Button
   
End Function

frmMsgBox4Button Form Module Code:

Option Explicit

Public Response As String

Private Sub cmd1_Click()
    Response = cmd1.Caption
    Me.Hide
End Sub

Private Sub cmd2_Click()
    Response = cmd2.Caption
    Me.Hide
End Sub

Private Sub cmd3_Click()
    Response = cmd3.Caption
    Me.Hide
End Sub

Private Sub cmd4_Click()
    Response = cmd4.Caption
    Me.Hide
End Sub

Here's how I'm using this dll. I just keep it in the directory of my .exe or my VBScript file. No need to register this dll if you do that. I've compiled the project with the project name "MsgBoxes" and named the dll "MsgBoxes.dll". In my code I use late binding:

VBScript:

Dim objMsgBox, MyMsgBox

Set objMsgBox = CreateObject("MsgBoxes.cMsgBoxes")
MyMsgBox = objMsgBox.MsgBox4Button("What would you like to do?", "Go to work.", "Go Home.", "Go hang.")
MsgBox MyMsgBox

Set objMsgBox = Nothing

Why use Active-X? Just define a form, it's straight forward and simple.

[AycheKay]

My ActiveX dll can be used by VBScript. That was my whole point in making it an ActiveX dll. Really, it can be called from most any language.

Since he hasn't been back since he posted this request, I guess it doesn't really matter how cool or how easy a method is. He's just wasted our time...

i just want to customize regular messagebox sound, is that possible?

[vb5prgrmr]

serkan sendur,

Please start your own thread

No. You will have to make your own form that looks like a message box.

Good Luck
