Prevent focus on message box button. Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I have the following code in my script:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
If gStrAccount <> txtAccount.Text Then
If MsgBox(Application.Translator.Localize("You have changed the account name from ") & chr(34) & gStrAccount & chr(34) & Application.Translator.Localize(" to ") & chr(34) & txtAccount.Text & chr(34) & vbCRLF & vbCRLF & _
Application.Translator.Localize("Are you sure you want to change the acccount name?"), vbYesNo + vbExclamation + vbDefaultButton2, Application.Translator.Localize("Warning")) = vbNO Then
txtAccount.Text = gStrAccount
Else
gStrAccount = txtAccount.Text
End If
End If
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have found that users are too eager to simply click Enter repeatedly until the messages go away and end up making the changes when they shouldnt have. Is there any way to stop the message box from setting focus in the Yes button (or the No button) so the user has to conciously needs to click a choice????

Just thinking a bit here, what if you put Yes, No and Cancel button.
And set the Default Focus on the Cancel button.

And then make it so that the Cancel button just loops back onto the Message ??

Or...
Why don't you use a Manage Form, add the Yes / No buttons and make sure you don't set any default focus or any default buttons (well, do set the Cancel to No, in case the user chooses to "X" the window )
The advantage of using a Form is that if you code right you could reuse it around your application

Or... (And maybe this one is it if you only have the need for it on one single place)
Use a Panel (to mimic this Message box)
