MSGBOX

[Silvio]

Dear Antonio,

I saw there is an Microsoft function MESSAGEBOXEX to recrate box message gradient ( office style 2007)

I saw on a guide MessageBoxEx and MessageBox work the same way

int MessageBoxEx( HWND hWnd,
LPCTSTR lpText,
LPCTSTR lpCaption,
UINT uType,
WORD wLanguageId
);


I think if we modifiy all the source code MSG.c we c an have the box with this style

it is possible ?

Silvio,

I wasn't aware of it, thanks

I am going to review it...

[Silvio]

I found this code

Code: Select all  Expand view

#include <9pm/windows.h>
#include <9pm/u.h>
#include <9pm/libc.h>

int WINAPI
MessageBoxEx(HWND hWnd, LPCWSTR lpText, LPCWSTR lpCaption, UINT uType, WORD wLanguageId)
{
   /* MessageBoxW implement on Windows 95 */
   return MessageBoxExW(hWnd, lpText, lpCaption, uType, wLanguageId);
}

Antonio,
see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms645507.aspx

If I make it

Code: Select all  Expand view

function MessageBox( cText, cCaption, nType )
return MessageBoxEx( GetActiveWindow(), cText, cCaption, nType, nil )


dll32 static function MessageBoxEx( hWnd AS LONG,;
                                    lpText AS STRING,;
                                    lpCaption AS STRING,;
                                    uType AS LONG, wLanguageId AS LONG ) ;
                                    AS LONG PASCAL  FROM "MessageBoxExA" LIB "User32.dll"

it is correct ?

Silvio,

> it is correct ?

It seems ok

But what is its advantage over MessageBox function? Even according to MSDN the functionality is the same except that we can specify LaguageId in "Ex" version of the functions. Both of them look the same. Am I missing something?

Silvio,

I too don´t see any difference between the old function and this new one. No Office 2007 style.

[Silvio]

You 're right , I saw it !!!
But on a website (vb) I saw this function with a image and the box message was with office style I not understand How !!!
I'm searching....

Perhaps I found a solution ....I'm trying
