If you don't like VFP messagebox, try
Timed Messagebox File #
9897>You know, it is still something screwy about how the messagebox works with the timer parameter. When I added MS_SYSTEMMODAL parameter, the messagebox stays visible when you click outside of the messagebox. But the clicks you do while the messagebox is visible are "stored" and executed as soon as the messagebox is cleared. For example, if the program shows a messagebox() with the timer and the MS_SYSTEMMODAL and user clicks on, say, "DELETE" button, as soon as the messagebox is cleared the code in the DELETE button is executed.
