how to have a msgbox close after a pause

[Guest]

Is there a way to have a msgbox automatically close after a pause? I need to
display it for about 15 seconds then disappear.

Not a message box, but you can build a form and have that pop up for 15
seconds. Just use the timer event of that little form to close itself after
15 seconds.

Not sure if it can be done, but if it's not possible, create a small form
that can look as MsgBox, and use the form Timer to close it self after a
certain time
