I know Exeat and TCA have one (That I'll try when i get home tonight) but is there a way to make a message box, and then make it able for me to pick the button names? Instead of ok, cancel, etc. I want some things custom to my game.

Those button names (and the underlying enumerated constants) are set by the windows dll the msgbox comes from and I dont think you can change them. Youd have to make a custom form that mimics a msgbox to customize it like that. Not sure if you could use RobK's blue stuff for that, or make your own dll.

I have 2 DLL's that do that lol!

And yes I believe what you want to do is quite possible using the Windows API, you could easily use 'FindWindow' to get the hWnd of the button and then use 'SetWindowLong' to give it a new caption.

I'm literally leaving in like 30 seconds though, so I'll have to post some DBP code to do it tommorrow.

Well as long as the 'Load DLL' and 'Call DLL' commands work the same, it should work. I don't have DBC Enhanced so I won't be able to test it myself, hopefully it should convert easily though.

(Should have a sample ready in the next hour or so lol)

Edit: I take that back, I've hit one road block heh, I forgot that if you call a MessageBox, it will consequently halt your program and prevent it from calling the next line of code. Guess it's time for some multithreading! (Hope it works lol)
