Message Box Designer/32 1.0
by Patrick McNeill

Message Box Designer/32 1.0 is the 32-bit version of Message Box Designer/16.
Both are Visual Basic 4.0 Add-In products which automate the creation of
MsgBox sub/function code.  They both support all capabilities of MsgBox,
including the new Help Context.  I made Message Box Designer originally for
my own use because I could never remember any of the special numbers to make
the different buttons and icons.  However, I decided to upload it because it
was so helpful to me.

Unlike Message Box Designer/16, Message Box Designer/32 is shareware.I am
only asking $5 for this program, so please register and support my work.
To register, send $5 to me at:

*** Installation/Usage Instructions ***

To install Message Box Designer/32, you simply need to put it in what ever
directory it will reside in.  Next, you need to run the EXE file, MSGBOX32.EXE.
This will put the Message Box Designer/32 add-in on the Visual Basic 4.0 add-in
list.  Now you simply need to go to the Add-In manager and enable it.

Using Message Box Designer/32 is supposed to be very simple.  To start it up,
click the Message Box Designer/32 menu-item under the Add-Ins menu.  Now you
will be presented with a dialog.  Each section has it's own special function:

Text (text box) - What the Message Box will say.
Title (text box) - What the title of the Message Box will be.
Buttons (group) - What number/type of buttons you want.
Icon (group) - The icon you want to be on your Message Box.
Default Button (group) - The default button on the message box.
Type (group) - Specifies a function or sub Message Box.
          * A function Message Box returns a value corresponding to the button
            clicked.
Help File (check) - Specifies if you want a help file.
          * Note : You must have a context number if you have a help file.
Help Context (text) - The help context number you want for the help file.
System Modal (check) - Specifies if you want it to be system modal.
Test It (button) - Displays the Message Box using the current parameters.
Make It (button) - Copies code for the Message Box to the clipboard.

Just fill in or change any of the above fields for your Message Box.  One
problem that I have not been able to solve is with the location of the help
file.  I would reccomend that you have it in the same directory as your program.
However, you still may need to change the path statement in the MsgBox code.
