Centering text on an API controlled messagebox.

I.e.

If mlNumIterations >= MAX_ITERATIONS Then
meSubmissionState = SS_FINISHED


Reply = MessageBox(0, "The Goverment Sumbisssion Gateway has not responded in the required time limit." & vbCr & "EOY submission has failed." & vbCr & "You will need to resubmit the EOY file.", "CRITICAL ERROR", MB_OK& & MB_ICONSTOP)

End If

Months since I used VB. Most is coming back, but not all.

Left = (Screen.Width - Width) / 2
Top = (Screen.Height - Height) / 2

Should work (I think)

Nah, centering the text in the messagebox, not the messagebox itself. It's all left justified at the moment. Looks poor.

Screeny

Ignore the spakky fingered spelling of "submission". ;D

Ahh, I see. Sorry.

Not a scooby mate.

Neh bother. It's something really damn simple but it's driving me mental, especially considering I've managed the rest of the program. Grrr.

[edit] Nope. All message boxe texts are left justified. Must have created a form emulating one last time, but allowing more control. Oh well.

Yeah, was just going to say this.

Text in message boxes can only really be formatted as var as putting a vbCrLf in it.

Just whip up a simple form.

I want to go back and program with Visual Basic...Must resist.

What you programming anyway? Or is it top secret government stuff?

You want a 'visual basic quicky'?

ok.

10 INPUT PENIS
20 GOTO 10

Just hit the escape key when you're done

There's news that MS will stop supporting VB soon, which has caussed a bit of an uproar in the industry.
