%MB_YES %MB_NO

[Fred Oxenby]

%MB_YES = &H6& (replaced by %MB_CANCELTRYCONTINUE = &H00000006&)
%MB_NO  = &H7&
In Win32api.inc those two "equates" has disappeared
So also from MSDN WINUSER.H 
Someone know why?
Message box %MB_YESNO still return "6" or "7"

%MB_YES would mean "create a message box with just a Yes button". Not very useful. Not only that, but no version of Windows would recognize it.

I think you want to use %IDYES (=6) and %IDNO (=7). If %MB_YES was included in Win32API.INC at some point, it must have been an error.

I have no record of there ever having been separate %MB_YES and %MB_NO
equates. The equates you'd use in defining the available options would
be %MB_YESNO or %MB_YESNOCANCEL, if you're looking for Yes/No options.

Oh, really?

  MSGBOX "Do you agree to pay your support invoices in full and on time?", %MB_YES, "Answer Needed"

I have dusted off an old TCP Client/server application i wrote back in january 2000.
It did not work on WIN2000 then, and I thought I try to trace down the problems..
I hardly ever use "messageboxes" so Eric is probably right.
MB_YES is probably %IDYES (reply from MsgBox style %MB_YESNO when clicking YES-button)
Back in januari 2000 I might have added them to Win32Api.inc, I am not doing
that kind of addition to standard include-files anymore....
Thanks

[Response withdrawn. I took Michael seriously at first, but I now suspect that he was attempting to be funny.]

MS are always so strickt. Why no MB_MAYBE?

(have seen MS dialogs with question "Do you want to..", and just Ok-button..)

You mean like "Format hard drive now ?" + OK button ? In a sort-of similar vein, I remember
an excerpt from a series of Windows howlers - a message box that pops up after a long delay
and says -

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you, that takes a long time"

[Scott Turchin]

I like the %MB_MAYBE, I'm dying laughing here....

THis is the way I've always done it, much like the NT event log...

                If IsTrue g_lPromptFlag Then
                    g_Result = MsgBox("Are you sure you wish to delete the log?",%IDOK,g_szMINE)
                    If g_Result <> %IDOK Then Exit Function
                    g_Result = MsgBox("Would you like to save a copy?",%MB_YESNOCANCEL,g_szMINE)
                    If g_Result = %IDCANCEL Then Exit Function
                    If g_Result = %IDYES Then
                        g_Result = SaveLogAsText
                        If IsFalse g_Result Then Exit Function 'Don't delete logfile
                    End If
                End If
