 Message Box & Strings
Hello everyone.I have a proably simple q for you guys.
Here is a message box of mine:
MsgBox totalMsg, vbOKOnly, Space$(100)
How can I increase the size vertically? Where do I add the Msgbox title now? If I tack it on the I get an error.
How do people feel about intializing variables with a Loadform method? Is it a good practice?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi TW2001,
First of all, I assume that your "Space$(100)" in the title is to make the message box longer. You can do something similar to increase the size of it vertically, using Chr(13) (enter). Don't know a more elegant way.
You can easily add a title by concatenating it with your "Space$(100).
So you could try something like:
MsgBox totalmsg & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & Chr(13), vbOKOnly, "mytitle" & Space$(100)

Space$(100) is for compatibility with older VB code. Use Space(100).
If you desire a lot of control you could create a custom message box with a standard form. Load it modally and then unload it out of memory when the desired action has been performed.
quote:
How do people feel about intializing variables with a Loadform method? Is it a good practice?
There is no LoadForm method in VB 6.0 but if you mean initialising variables in the Form_Load event then that practice is fine and standard. There are certain caveats with the Initialise event though usually you can initialise safely there as well.
If you mean using an API method, you will have no more flexibility than if you used the built in VB library.

Great!
Thanks Richard.
I meant Form_load (sorry about that sloppiness).Im still learining to use internal librarys so the functionality of an API is little over my head right now.
The standard Form idea for the MsgBox is an excellent one.
Thanks, Outputting summary display etc..will go a lot smoother that way.
Cheers!
