MessageBox With Timeout

Posted by Alexandr Shcherbakov on July 30th, 1999
This is a simple class that displays a message box and automatically closes it after a specified amount of time.

This class has a very simple interface

  • Two public constructors
    • 
CMessageBoxEx()
CMessageBoxEx(HWND hWnd, LPCTSTR lpText, LPCTSTR lpCaption, UINT uType, UINT uTimeOut, BOOL bShowTimeOut = TRUE)
  • Two public methods to execute Timed Out Message Box 
    
int DoMessageBox()
int DoMessageBox(HWND hWnd, LPCTSTR lpText, LPCTSTR lpCaption, UINT uType, UINT uTimeOut, BOOL bShowTimeOut = TRUE)
    The object creates a thread to check time elapsed. When timeout is reached, the thread posts WM_CLOSE message to the message box.
