MsgBox Problem

[Anne Richmond]

I have just returned to my first vb.net project after a few weeks and find I
have a problem with Msgbox.



The commands I added earlier work OK but any new ones fail to show the
prompt value or a narrative on the button.

So the line MsgBox ("Hello World",0,"My App") displays a box which does not
show "Hello World" and has a blank button (which should say "OK"). "My App"
and the close button are displayed.



In the time I have been away from this project a patches to fix the sasser
virus and various Microsoft updates have been applied.



What do I need to do to get this working again properly?

So the line

MsgBox ("Hello World",0,"My App")

displays a box which does not show "Hello World" and has a
blank button (which should say "OK").
"My App" and the close button are displayed.

Have you written your own MsgBox replacement class or method?
I ask mainly because I don't know of any way of getting the
"normal" MsgBox to show a blank button.

Also, VB.Net will usually give you members of the MsgBoxStyle
Enum to choose from - specifying 0 is quite unusual.

The code given above above works fine for me.

HTH,
Phill W.

No I haven't written a replacement.

replacing 0 with MsgBoxStyle.OKOnly still give the same result.

Also
MessageBox.Show("Hello World", "My App", MessageBoxButtons.OK,
MessageBoxIcon.Information)

produces a msgbox with a balnk button and no narrative.

Should I re-install vb.net?

Anne,

Last week were some problems reported after installing McAfee 8.0, that
sound exactly like your problem.

I hope this helps?
