MsgBox "Coordinates"

[Bob Barnes]

W/o making a custom Form to use as a "MsgBox"...

Can the standard MsgBox use coordinates to place x or y
number of pixels from right, left, top or bottom?

TIA - Bob

If you know the caption of the message box, you could probably use
FindWindow to get its handle, and then use MoveWindow to position it, but
it's just so much simpler to use your own form.

No, you have no control over where the standard message box displays
on the screen, but you can control where your own custom form
displays. By the way, the unit of measurement would be Twips (1440 per
inch) that you would use to position the custom form, not pixels.

Thank you Doug.
