cuztomizable?

[ThePentiumGuy]

For my game, i want it to display a 'rounded, graphical' messagebox, instead of using XP messageBoxes, can i have

"customizable messageboxes"

 

normally in games, you see game messages in its own kind of box, how would u do that

 

(btw, im trying to make PC-Mario)

message box is very poor by default ( no shapes ,no custom buttons, no language support ), but you can create shaped windows form.

 

For more info see :

very poor seems a bit harsh, it does what it sets out to do.

Display a box with a message and a standard set of buttons / icons.

 

For anything more complex a form and the .ShowDialog() function fits the bill

ok,

you are right,but messagebox should have language support

well, actually messagebox has it's own class, but how far you can go, is unknown, the option to create your own custom form will be fine, but coding needs to be done, calling API's, painting, refreshing, buffering, and all that stuff. i haven't found any custom form around... but if I find one I'll post it here
