How can I jazz up a strMsg line ?

[Pete46]

I have a strMsg line in a message box leading to a yes/no response. Is there
anyway I can jazz up the strMsg line so it is bold and in a colour, for
example navy blue? Can it be centered in the box ? I assume there are some
functions something like the vbCrLf but for colours, centering and bolding,
but I can't find them. I don't really want a custom message box, just to
jazz up the single strMsg line. Is there anywhere were I can see some
examples, so far I can't find any ?

thanks .. Pete

well, i think you're going to have to go with a custom form for your msgbox,
but i'd say if anyone has come up with a way to manipulate the built-in
MsgBox() function, it would be Stephen Lebans. you can search his website,
which is well worth a visit even if you don't find the specific thing you're
looking for, at http://www.lebans.com/.

Not that I know of. It's not that hard to use a simple unbound popup form to
accomplish the same end.

Here's a custom message box, built from a form that will do exactly what you
want:
