MESSAGE_BOX is a Visual Foxpro function and class library that replaces the native MessageBox() function in Foxpro.  There are two potential uses for this product.  First, the ability to modify the appearance of messageboxes.  Using MESSAGE_BOX and the included wizard application, a developer can easily design his or her own messagebox dialogs by creating the appropriate button group to be displayed and then specifying icons (other than the VFP/Windows defaults - question mark, exclamation mark, information icon, and stop sign).  Second, MESSAGE_BOX exposes a timeout feature for the occasions when a user response is not critical to the completion of a process.  Rather than suspending a process until a user response is received, the developer can specify a timeout period (in seconds).  When this timeout period is reached without a user response, MESSAGE_BOX returns the value that corresponds to the default button of the dialog box. Because the object that is displayed by MESSAGE_BOX is based on a Form, the developer also has the option of defining an optional icon (cIcon parameter) that will appear in the upper left corner of the displayed dialog.
