    I don't think it is possible with MessabeBox. You can simple create your own dialog and add a single cancel button. -Saurabh

      You are welcome. Btw you may want to check out XMessageBox - A reverse-engineered MessageBox() [^]. It has more functionality then standard MessageBox and also allows custom buttons. -Saurabh

        Yes but MB_OK is not going to give him Cancel button. -Saurabh

          After reading MSDN documentation I couldn't find anything. Do you know how to do that? -Saurabh

            You can get a handle to a messagebox window and then you can change text of it.

              MessageBox is a modal window so it blocks the calling thread. So once you call MessageBox then unless you dismiss it nothing else can be done. -Saurabh

                  I hate to do this but it is not going to work in C# as well. System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox mimics MessageBox in windows. So there is no option to use just the Cancel button. -Saurabh

                      I never asked why C# is good!!! We were talking about MessageBox. I have seen that article and it create a new class for doing custom stuff. It has got nothing to do with MessageBox WinAPI provides. -Saurabh
