new to vb.... message box problem

dai

i was wondering if it is possible to do something like the following:-

MessageBox.Show(a, b, c, d)

where:-

string a = "message"
string b = "title"
? c = MessageBoxButtons.AbortRetryIgnore
? d = MessageBoxIcon.Error


if it is possible, i dont know what variable type to use for the last 2 message box options, so any help/links would be most appreciated,

cheers

Try:

msgbox ("message",18,"Title")

that should work

18 = abort, entry and ignore buttons and a critical message icon

Hope that helps

no problem, according to what i just read you can actually do it this way aswell.

msgbox ("message","title", buttons/icon)
