[Tutorial] MsgBox Fundementals In Vb.net

On more then a few occasions questions have been raised in regards to MsgBox's , So, I fugure a MessageBox Tutorial is in order.

Code Snippets

Create a Standard MessageBox

Code:

MsgBox ("Your Message Here")

Or the one that is least known and least used

Code:

Interaction.MsgBox("Your Message Here")

Note: Both Work in the same capacity.

VB Abort, Retry , Cancel With Title

Code:

MsgBox("This is a messagebox with Abort, Retry Cancel, and You can set the Title of the messagebox", MsgBoxStyle.AbortRetryIgnore, "Title")

MsgBox and VbYes

Code:

Dim exitout As String
exitout = MsgBox("Would You Like To Exit?", Microsoft.VisualBasic.MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation + Microsoft.VisualBasic.MsgBoxStyle.YesNo + Microsoft.VisualBasic.MsgBoxStyle.MsgBoxHelp, "Title")
If exitout = vbYes Then
End
End If

Return a Value from msgbox

Code:

Dim ReturnV As Integer
ReturnV = MsgBox("This is a message box!",MsgBoxStyle.OKCancel + MsgBoxStyle******rmation + MsgBoxStyle.SystemModal, "Message Box")
If (ReturnV = MsgBoxResult.OK) Then
Label1.Text("OK button Has Been Clicked")
'Or use a messagebox, or a textbox or a listbox etc. etc. etc . 
End If

Icons

You will notice in alot of these examples I am using the code

Code:

Microsoft.VisualBasic.MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation

This allows you to display the Microsoft message box icon/Style you would like to display

Here is the list of icons and style of MsgBox to display

Exclamation

Code:

Microsoft.VisualBasic.MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation

Information Icon

Code:

Microsoft.VisualBasic.MsgBoxStyle******rmation

Critical Error

Code:

MsgBoxStyle.OkCancel + MsgBoxStyle.Critical

Question

Code:

MsgBoxStyle.OkCancel + MsgBoxStyle.Question

Hope this helps.

Most kids "learning" vb only learn it because they can't comprehend C++.
