As it is the norm in Windows, MessageBoxTimeoutIndirectA delegates the work to MessageBoxTimeoutIndirectW: { MSGBOXPARAMSW msgboxW; UNICODE_STRING textW, captionW; int ret; if (!IS_INTRESOURCE(lpText)) RtlCreateUnicodeStringFromAsciiz(&textW, (PCSZ)lpText); else textW.Buffer = (LPWSTR)lpText; if...

"It is unlikely that Microsoft will depricate this function for quite some time because all of the standard MessageBox API calls actually call MessageBoxTimeOutA or MessageBoxTimeoutW and pass $FFFFFFFF as the timeout period meaning the dialog will wait a very long time, approx 49 days!" ...

I have modified my post because the wrapper was using a wrong logic. It was calling the default MessageBox if the call to DyLibLoad failed, when it must do it if the call to DyLibSymbol fails.

Although MessageBoxTimeout is undocumented, it has been available and unaltered since Windows XP. The following wrapper function loads it dynamically and, if unavailable, it defaults to a regular MessageBox.

Int this example, AfxMsg "Clicked" is only used to let you know that the message has been fired and processed. Remove it and put the code you wish. #define UNICODE #INCLUDE ONCE "Afx/CWindow.inc" USING Afx #define MyButton 1001 DECLARE FUNCTION WinMain (BYVAL hInstance AS HINSTAN...

Instead of SendMessage, use PostMessage

The appearance of Windows controls is not the same if you use themes. Using themes, the inderteminate state does not appear as greyed, but as a small black box, it seems.

Whats wrong with the XP based Win32 API to not be used in the first place and only offer the "new" Win32 API calls Windows 7 support ended on January 14, 2020 And Windows XP support ended on April 8, 2014. What's wrong with XP based Win32 API? Among many other things, it has not support t...
