MessageBox with timer

[Elliot]

Is it possible to show a MessageBox(Yes&No button) and assume "No" was
clicked if nothing was clicked 10 seconds after the MessageBox begins to
appear?

No, but you could easily write a dialog control with identical behaviour and
a timer function included.

How to return the value(which button user clicked) to its caller?

Peter,

I don't have any answer on this.
However, isn't it bad that windows doesn't provide anything built-in
to do that?

Thanks

Peter,

I am not sure whether I explained myself correctly.
And the goal has been addressed in the thread.

I just wanted to say that it is bad that windows didn't provide
anything so basic that people will have to write their own custom form
for this.
Imagine windows didn't provide any api for messagebox (just an
example)

The reason I say it is bad because, windows uses it in some of its
apps already
So, can't this be provided as an API instead?

My comments are not related to your solution. This is just my view of
things

A message box has the responsibility of alerting the user and ensuring that
they acknowledge the message.

A message that pops up and dismisses itself after a period of time is a
tooltip.
