messagebox "red x" corner

[marfi95]

Is it possible to not show the close button (red X in upper right
corner) in the titlebar of a messagebox so the user doesn't see it.

Is it possible to not show the close button (red X in upper right
corner) in the titlebar of a messagebox so the user doesn't see it.

I am curious why you would want to hide the close button.

I don't want to. I have a ding-a-ling user who is asking me if we can
do it.

When all else fails, just say no

I read a quote from somewhere, it says something like the following (don't
know who to credit):

"Programming today is a race between software engineers creating bigger and
better idiot-proof programs and the universe creating bigger and better
idiots. So far, the universe is winning."



If this is a WinForms application, you can create your own Form that mimics
the MsgBox method.

HTH,
