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

[Andrew G. <ag...@cl...>]

I think Jon exagerates a wee bit, although it's no great amount of work to
come up with a replacement MessageBox which correctly sizes its self
depending on the amount of text and buttons.

I wonder though if it'd be possible to do something with
GetClassInfo/UnRegisterClass/RegisterClass and just drop in your own
WindowProc for the message box which adjusted a few things on startup and
passed every call through to the real message box proc. Probabably more
hassle than it's worth :)

It's a real shame though that you can't specify replacement text for the
default buttons, especially as you can already do something similar for the
icon that's displayed.
