What is wrong with this line of code?

[Rollasoc]

MessageBox.Show("Hello", "Boo", MessageBoxButtons.OK,
MessageBoxIcon.Information);

Why when it runs, does the word "Hello" not be displayed in the message box
and the message box display a blank button and not one that says "OK".
"Boo" does appear in the Title bar.

This is doing my head in...

Hi,

It should be working ok.. are you doing something with Localization ?

 

[Rollasoc]

Nope. It is very weird. Messageboxes work fine in my other apps. Just not
this new one....

 

[Peter Jausovec]

Very weird in deed ... maybe some of the MVP's will know something

Turn off buffer overrun protection for McAfee VirusScan 8.

Does this help?

Hi Rollasoc,

Are you by any chance using McAfee 8?
There was a thread similar to your's one month ago which is related to
McAffee's use of double buffering or something. Supposedly there is a
patch, somewhere.

Maybe you are running an unpatched version of McAfee VirusScan 8:

I'm using Mcafee. I'll get IT to look into it.

Thanks for everyone's help. Have a good Christmas.

I've updated Mcafee with all the latest patches and this has cured the
problem.

Thank you all very much.
