Instead of using MessageRequester() function, should I use WinAPI calls to create dialogs with appropriate icons?

If anyone has sample code for this, I'd be highly appreciative.

Cheers,

It depends if your app is for Windows only, or for Amiga and/or Linux as well.
The MessageRequester command supports all three platforms, but the MessageBox_
API is only for Windows.

Here is the format of the MessageBox_ API:

Code: Select all

MessageBox_(0,"body","title",flags)

Unfortunately there's too many flags to list here, so I won't bother... but if
you download the API-Guide program from http://www.allapi.net then you'll get
access to a lot of great API information.

As PB says, there are quite a few flags you can use and they can be used with both the MessageBox_() command and PB's MessageRequester().

Here are a couple to get you started (they are Windows constants)

MessageRequester("title","message",#MB_ICONERROR) ...gives the red error icon

#MB_ICONINFORMATION ... gives the info/thought bubble icon
#MB_ICONQUESTION ... gives the question mark/thought bubble icon
#MB_ICONEXCLAMATION ... gives the yellow sign with exclamation mark

Hi Blu-Matt
There are a lot of #flags for MessageBox_ , just download the WinAPI HelpFile with all infos of any API command and to have a complete list with all #flags for MessageBox_ like #MB_ICONSTOP ... You can you Sleep_(time) as replacement for Delay(time) ...
