How make string bold

[Woody Splawn]

I would like to display a certain string in a message box in upper case and
bold. I know how to display it in upper case. My code for doing so is
listed below. However, I do not know how to have it displayed in bold. Is
it possible to have it displayed in bold too?

Dim str As String

str = "builder"

str = str.ToUpper

MsgBox(str)

That's not supported by messageboxes. You will have to write your own
messagebox form and draw the text using 'DrawString'.
