RE: Re[2]: [GD-Windows] Security/access when writing to registry

Sure, it just means adding it to the resources and all that malarky. Which
is a huge hassle for every possible message in an app. It would be stupidly
helpful have a MessageBoxEx ( hWnd, "Something gnarly happened", "Hey dude",
MB_CUSTOM3BUTTONS | MB_ICONBODACIOUS, "Groovy", "Downer", "Whoa" );

OK, well there already is a MessageBoxEx. Time for MessageBoxExEx.

Sorry - I'm just wishlisting. :-)
