MsgBox Function - Closing automatically

James Crowley

Closing automatically

You will have noticed that sometimes in other applications a message box closes itself automatically after a period of time (such as the error message when printing, saying that the printer is out of paper). You can actually do this in Visual Basic. Click here for the code.

James first started writing tutorials on Visual Basic in 1999 whilst starting this website (then known as VB Web). Since then, the site has grown rapidly, and James has written numerous tutorials, articles and reviews on VB, PHP, ASP and C#. In October 2003, James formed the company Developer Fusion Ltd, which owns this website, and also offers various development services. In his spare time, he's a 3rd year undergraduate studying Computer Science in the UK. He's also a Visual Basic MVP.
