I see...I'm also suspecting that it is a permission issue since the server is the one executing the process of capturing the client's active browser or screen. :^) Anyway, thanks for the idea of using an ActiveX control. This might solve my problem. :-D Cheers! :cool: microsoc :cool:

thanks for your reply! :) Actually, it's a windows application but Internet Explorer hosted so the one that loads the forms is the IE. there will be an instance/scenario that you want to open more than one forms at a time, for some transaction purposes to validate some data. Anyway, so for example there would be an error occured or a message asking for confirmation for something in one of the openned forms(that's where the messagebox comes in the picture), then when you don't want to close the messagebox yet and go to the other forms or launch another, you can't do that because the messagebox is modal for the whole application. so that's the purpose of the customized messagebox. hope that's what you want to know. thanks for your time! :) microsoc :cool:

hello! :) I already tried that before i post and it only change the text of the datetimepicker. the calendar still has the format that is set on your regional settings. anyway, tnx for the reply! :)

You may want to take a look at the code for #Develop. If I recall correctly, they've got a WinForms designer in there. Might be worth taking a look at. Picture a huge catholic cathedral. In it there's many people, including a gregorian monk choir. You know, those who sing beautifully. Then they start singing, in latin, as they always do: "Ad hominem..." -Jörgen Sigvardsson

:doh: thanks!:) just another thing, how about during design time? because it's only triggered when you changed the value & reload the form... is there a way that it's automatically triggered when you change the value even without reloading the form? :sigh: thanks again! :) microsoc -- modified at 3:45 Monday 12th September, 2005
