prevent MessageBox from continuously reappearing
-
hi guys, how can i prevent a messagebox from reappearing? i have this timer that if the client is not connected to the server, a messagebox would appear informing the user that he is not connected to the server. i want the messagebox to show only once, until he is connected to the server. tnx in advance..:)

How long a message box is displayed is controlled by the user. If you want to remove the messagebox by code, you can't use a messagebox. Use a small form instead. --- b { font-weight: normal; } -- modified at 8:25 Monday 27th February, 2006

Couldnt you just use a bool value to indicate whether or not its shown (might have to create it as an object for this) and use an if statement to act accordingly ?
uhhh how is dat possible autekre?:) is that for the messagebox or the form?
