Please..............................Take a look at help file and use the example code to start. Being new doesn't grant you the excuse for not learning, you won't get anywhere with your project with your attitude like this.

Try to use Koda to create the GUI (is a visual editor, as the .NET one), then you just generate the code and your msgbox is ready
