MsgBox/MessageBox - Move and change button text

What's not working?

I just tested this, found out that you're using the wrong flag for your msgbox. The flag #48 corresponds to $MB_ICONWARNING, when you use that by itself it tells AutoIt to create a msgbox with one button and the warning icon inside it. If you want both buttons to show up, you have to use one of the flags that has more than one button displayed. If you replace your _MsgBoxEx(48, with _MsgBoxEx(52, then it will show both buttons with the correct text on them.

BTW, if you only specify text for 2 buttons and use a 3 button message box flag, the first button's text won't change.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

Works fine for me, except that flag=48 only displays one button.

_MsgBoxEx(1+48, "Test", "Taste", -1, -1, "Pest", "Paste")
 

P.S.: Upsa, didn't saw the answer on page 2 of the thread :)...

I found this wasn't working when trying to set a button text using Chinese characters while running Arabic Windows.  What I discovered after a lot of poking around was that the following change fixed the issue.

The original code inside _CBT_MsgBoxProc() function

If _WinAPI_GetDlgItem($h_msgbox, $iid) Then
                        DllCall("User32.dll", "int", "SetDlgItemText", "hwnd", $h_msgbox, _
                            "int", $iid, "str", $__aMsgBoxText[$iid])
                    EndIf

should be changed to

If _WinAPI_GetDlgItem($h_msgbox, $iid) Then
                        DllCall("User32.dll", "int", "SetDlgItemTextW", "hwnd", $h_msgbox, _
                            "int", $iid, "wstr", $__aMsgBoxText[$iid])
                    EndIf

This uses the Unicode version of the SetDlgItemText function, SetDlgItemTextW, and instead of passing a "str", it needs to pass a "wstr".
