TitleCopy the text contents of any messagebox (Visual Basic 6 example)
DescriptionThis example shows how to copy the text contents of any messagebox (Visual Basic 6 example).
KeywordsMessagebox, message box, copy message box
CategoriesMiscellany, Windows
 
Did you know that you can copy the text in any message box? While the message box has the focus, press Ctrl-C. The message box beeps to try to make you think you have done something wrong but it copies its caption, text, and button captions into the clipboard.

Now click on a text box and press Ctrl-V to paste the results.

This Visual Basic 6 example just displays a message box and provides a text box where you can paste the results.
