How can I "manipulate" the MsgBox buttons in VB or VBS? I think it's possible, I may have done it before. I have done searches on Google and have found nothing yet.

Heres what I mean:
What I want to do is something like (this is an example: )

(Toggle Plain Text)

MsgBox "Hello!", Hi, "Hello"

So for the Button to click normally say "Ok", "Yes", "No", "Cancel, "Ignore" or "Retry", it should say "Hi".

Hope I explained enough (I have Windows XP Home SP2 Edition, so my VBS version is Up-to-date!)

Thanks,
Derek

I don't believe you can do it with the standard Windows message boxes - the value telling them which buttons to show is an integer. Fortunately, it's not hard to make your own in VB.
