Hi all, this is very easy and sometimes sufficient...

Code: Select all

; (c) 2001 - Franco's template - absolutely freeware
; use the about box of windows in your application...
; you can use your own icon, change the path and file name...
; the only thing is I can't set the position of these about box

OpenWindow (0,200,200, 320, 240, "About", #PB_Window_SystemMenu)

; icon # 0 = standard windows icon
ShellAbout_(WindowID(0), "Whatever # DOS", "What you want...", 0)

; load your icon
LoadImage(2, #PB_Compiler_Home + "Examples\Sources\Data\Drive.bmp") ;change path and name
ShellAbout_(WindowID(0), "This program is running under: # Windows Operating System","It seems you like it...  or you have to...  :- (", ImageID(2)) 

Have a nice day...
