with a predefined message. It returns an integer value based on the button clicked by the user, this helps to keep a track of the option selected by the user. VBA Msgbox can be mainly used for the below three reasons: 1. For displaying a message to the End user. 2. For graceful termination of a program in case of any unexpected exception. 3. For deciding the program flow based on the user selection. Syntax of MsgBox function in VBA: The syntax of VBA Msgbox is as follows: MsgBox (Text_String [, buttons] [, title] [, helpfile, context]) Here ‘Text_String’ is the message that you want the msgbox to display. The maximum length of ‘Text_String’ is 1024 characters. ‘buttons’ parameter specifies the type of buttons and icon that you want to be shown on the message box. It is an optional parameter. If you omit it then msgbox shows the default ‘vbOKOnly’ button. ‘title’ refers to the text displayed in the title bar of message box. This is an optional parameter. ‘helpfile’ is a string parameter that specifies the help file to be used for the dialog box. It is also an optional parameter but it becomes mandatory if ‘context’ parameter is to be used. ‘context’ is a numeric parameter that specifies the number assigned to the appropriate Help topic. It is an optional parameter but it becomes mandatory if ‘helpfile’ parameter is used. Different values of ‘buttons’ parameter in Msgbox: In VBA message box, ‘buttons’ parameter can have following values: Constant Description vbOKOnly It displays a single OK button vbOKCancel It displays two buttons OK and Cancel. vbAbortRetryIgnore It displays three buttons Abort, Retry, and Ignore. vbYesNoCancel It displays three buttons Yes, No, and Cancel. vbYesNo It displays two buttons Yes and No. vbRetryCancel It displays two buttons Retry and Cancel. vbCritical It displays a Critical Message icon. vbQuestion It displays a Query icon. vbExclamation It displays a Warning Message icon. vbInformation It displays an Information Message icon. vbDefaultButton1 First button is treated as default. vbDefaultButton2 Second button is treated as default. vbDefaultButton3 Third button is treated as default. vbDefaultButton4 Fourth button is treated as default. vbApplicationModal This suspends the current application till the user responds to the message box. vbSystemModal This suspends all the applications till the user responds to the message box. vbMsgBoxHelpButton This adds a Help button to the message box. VbMsgBoxSetForeground Ensures that message box window is foreground. vbMsgBoxRight This
