hiepkhachsg,

Take a look at my ExtMsgBox UDF (the link is in my sig below) which allows much more flexibility in colouring the dialog and setting the icon - as well as many other options.

Open spoiler to see my UDFs:

This has been asked in other places.

The long answer goes something like this...

MsgBox and InputBox are standardised Windows dialogues with few options.  They are not designed to be customized.

If you want to edit, you need to make a custom GUI and then edit that to your liking.  @Melba's  answer is based on a such a pre-packaged solution.  Ie Melba has already done all the hard work of figuring out how to do the GUI, all you have to do is implement.

See these pages in the help file:

https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/GUICreate.htm for an example of how to create a GUI

https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/GUICtrlCreateInput.htm for an example of creating a custom GUI with an Input control

 

As far as icons are concerned, running the script in SciTe will typically not change the icon.  A script compiled to an EXE WILL however change the icon to what you have specified. :)
