Changing the user's selections to force your app's preferences ove rthe
entire system is almost never the right way to do it.

Those are system-wide settings; if you need to customize them it's usually
much better (and easier) to just create your own form.

Those are set with the Control Panel's Display applet. If you really need
different fonts, you'll be far better off creating your own replacements for
those functions. Here's a "bare bones" project you can start with for the
InputBox anyway....

Gerard,
Ken is correct. It is usually far better to create your own "message box"
form if you need to customize the msgBox, however you asked if it was
*possible*, so...
If you have a real need to customize the system msgBox call you can use
hooks to do it. You can see an example of this in my MsgBoxEx example here:

Hope this helps and Merry Christmas!
