Hi guys,

Anybody know if it's possible to show a downward arrow as part of the prompt text in a message box? Or are you restricted to only the ASCII table of characters?

I'm trying this :

Code:
strResult = "(" & [COLOR=red]ChrW(8595)[/COLOR] & " " & Format(dblReduction, "0.0%") & ")"
  
MsgBox strResult, vbInformation, strTitle
But it just comes out as :

Anybody know if it's possible to get a MsgBox to show something like :

(↓ 5.6%)
Without designing a whole form just to get around this?

Or am I wasting my time?

Cheers!

Al

Instead of MsgBox, use a form, with a label,and button.
The label can use wingdings like arrows. (or use a picture)

MsgBox can't use Unicode characters, only plain ascii.

Thanks for clarifying guys - was purely a question of aesthetics, don't particularly want to house another form when a plain MsgBox will suffice!
