About Message Boxes
hello,

i'm new to vb here, how do you make a message box appear with the yes. no and cancel button? and then how do you execute a certain number of codes when a user click yes? is there something like if(msgbox = yes) or something similar? if no how do you make the compiler know that a user selected yes no or cancel?

any help is appreciated.

thank you

Message Boxes
Hi, I have this problem where the code continues after a message box is displayed. In VB when a message box is shown it haults the code until the message box is gone then the code continues, but when i compile the program, the message box doesnt stop the program and this is causing problems in my code.

anyone know how i can solve this?

Can you edit a msg box.
So that 1 button is ok
And the next returns you to a certain form?

If so how?

Someone Help Me With My Message Boxes Please!!
Hi,

I have attached My Program so I hope You can take a look at It. Basically on The Form 'Entries' I have a place to enter Numbers. When these numbers have been entered I want to click the 'Check Entry' Button and If My Numbers are OutOfRange(1-49), Repeated or a Box Is left Blank I want the appropriate Messages to be displayed.

I.E.

'One of the Six Numbers Is out of range!!'

'Numbers Repeated!!'

And

'A Box(s) have been left blank!!'

I also need a Message Box to appear telling Me the Numbers entered are O.K.

Finally If the Numbers entered meet the required parameters I want the 'Store Button' to be become VISIBLE so My Numbers can be stored. When the Numbers have been stored I want a Message telling Me that they have.

In Total I count 5 Message Boxes.

Thanks to anyone who can help Me. As soon as I get this part sorted My Program will just about be complete.

Is it possible to change a font property in a message box rather then using a separate form?

I have a simple message box with 2 lines of text and want to either change the color of the 2nd line or set the font to bold.

Message Boxes...
Hi everyone!

New problem: I have this code:


Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim response As Integer
response = MsgBox("Is anyone out there?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo)
If response = vbYes Then
MsgBox "You chose yes."
ElseIf response = vbNo Then
MsgBox "You chose no"
End If
End Sub


Why if I change it to something like this


Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim response As Integer
MsgBox "Is anyone out there?", vbInformation + vbYesNo
response = vbYesNo
If response = vbYes Then
MsgBox "You chose yes."
ElseIf response = vbNo Then
MsgBox "You chose no"
End If
End Sub



it doesn't work?

Message Boxes
Quite simple, im sure I should know the answer to this, but I cant put my finger on it

I have this so far:



Dim response As Integer

Private Sub Command9_Click()
response = MsgBox("Are you sure you want to quit?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo)
If response = vbYes Then
End
Else
End If

End Sub



So far all it does it close the message box whatever I press, I know that the 'end' is wrong, but am not sure what to change it to. I just want 'no' to go back to the form and 'Yes' to quit the application. (I am using Access with VBA)

I have a message box w/ the yes no command buttons on it. How do i know which button the user pushed so i can do the proper work. I guess i am lazy, cuz i dont want to make a separate form for something as simple as this. WHen the user quits, i want it to question, and if the user hits yes, then i exit, and if the user hits no, i want to get back to the form. but i dont know how to select it. I tried this...

Code:
MsgBox("Are you sure you would like to quit? ", MsgBoxStyle.YesNo, )
If Msgbox.Yes=true then
end
Else if Msgbox.no=true then
exit sub
End If

but that doesnt work. If anyone knows how to do this for vb 5 and vb net (.net example above)

Message Boxes
Hey, For my airplane game, it seems as though when the User presses the Pause key (P - which brings up a message box that is suposed to tell the user that it is paused and nothing happens until the user presses OK on it), or triggers a message box some other way, it gives me a "Run Time Error 5 - Invalid Procedue Call or Arguement"

This only happens in the compiled form, not during testing. During testing the message boxes work properly and the pause message box does work (it halts the game until user presses OK) but not in compiled.


VB Code:
[Select Case KeyCode     Case vbKeyP        MsgBox "Game is now paused.  Press OK to continue.", , "Game Paused"


Thats the code used for the pause key. Whats the problem?
Thanks.

Message Boxes
As a relatively new user to Visual Basic, there is one thing I have been going over and over to no success: Message Boxes. I've looked high and low for tutorials on Message Boxes but have only come up with really advanced things that I can't grip because I don't know the basic stuff about them.

Can anyone point me out a nice tutorial outlining the simple techniques of Message Boxes in Visual Basic? The in-program pop up confuses the hell out of me, so hopefully something more involved than that...

Thanks guys.

Help With Random Message Boxes
Well I am creating this:
http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/7...reenie1za2.png

and what it does is when someone clicks a button it will display a random fact from a list, except I am having a slight problem.

Well Since I have 5 buttons I needed 5 'strMessages" codes for each button to get form a different list.

here is the code:

Code:
Option Explicit
Private strMessages(4) As String
Private str2Messages(4) As String
Private str3Messages(4) As String

Private Sub Command1_Click(Index As Integer)

Select Case Command1(Index)
Case Command1(0)
MsgBox strMessages(Fix(Rnd() * 5))
Case Command1(1)
MsgBox str2Messages(Fix(Rnd() * 5))
Case Command1(2)
MsgBox str3Messages(Fix(Rnd() * 5))
Case Command1(3)
MsgBox str4Messages(Fix(Rnd() * 5))
Case Command1(4)
MsgBox str5Messages(Fix(Rnd() * 5))
End Select
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()

strMessages(0) = "This is a Random Fact1"
strMessages(1) = "This is a Random Fact2"
strMessages(2) = "This is a Random Fact3"
strMessages(3) = "This is a Random Fact4"
strMessages(4) = "This is a Random Fact5"

str2Messages(0) = "This is a Fact1"
str2Messages(1) = "This is a Fact2"
str2Messages(2) = "This is a Fact3"
str2Messages(3) = "This is a Fact4"
str2Messages(4) = "This is a Fact5"

str3Messages(0) = "This is Fact1"
str3Messages(1) = "This is Fact2"
str3Messages(2) = "This is Fact3"
str3Messages(3) = "This is Fact4"
str3Messages(4) = "This is Fact5"

str4Messages(0) = "Random Fact1"
str4Messages(1) = "Random Fact2"
str4Messages(2) = "Random Fact3"
str4Messages(3) = "Random Fact4"
str4Messages(4) = "Random Fact5"

str5Messages(0) = "This is a Random"
str5Messages(1) = "This is a Random"
str5Messages(2) = "This is a Random"
str5Messages(3) = "This is a Random"
str5Messages(4) = "This is a Random"


End Sub
And when I click to run it I get this error:
http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/4759/error1ud4.png
and it highlights this:
Code:
str4Messages(0) =
Do you see something wrong that I don't, because to me it looks correct.

But I can't be bothered with designing another form for it.

For the example, your conventional message box is just used to display.
I would like one which displays and takes input at the same time.
Thanks in advance.
