I think not from MessageBox API...You can create your own dialog and control it via DoModal and EndDialog and have the appearance look of a MessageBox...

I think, there will Always be Button/s around it... You need to Fill In the Last Parameter...

MessageBox - a method available within a CWnd derived class You cannot call MessageBox within a non CWnd derived class. Ex: class A { public: void Display() { // error MessageBox(...); // should be AfxMessageBox(...) } }; But in this example class A { public: void Display() { MessageBox(...); // OK, juts like calling this->MessageBox(..) AfxMessageBox(...) // ok } };

Why would you want this? How would the user close the message box without buttons? If you are performing some background processing and will close the box yourself, then you don't want a message box. You want a modeless dialog box.

For starters, AfxMessageBox() is an MFC wrapper around the Win32 MessageBox() function. With MessageBox(), you supply the parent window, the caption, and the message text. With AfxMessageBox(), the parent window and the caption are handled automatically.
