A message box is a built-in feature in Excel VBA that allows you to display a pop-up dialog box with a message and, optionally, buttons for user interaction. It’s a great way to provide information to users, ask for confirmation, gather input or provide some help information related to the message box or your excel vba application itself.<\/p>\n

First, lets learn the basic syntax to create a message box in Excel VBA. <\/p>\n
\r\nMsgBox Prompt, [Buttons], [Title], [HelpFile], [Context]\r\n<\/pre>\n\nWhere:<\/h4>\n
Prompt (Mandatory):<\/strong> This is the message you want to display in the message box. It can be a string or a variable containing a string.
\nButtons (Optional):<\/strong> This parameter specifies the buttons to display in the message box. It can take on one of several values (constants) to determine the button set. You can find a table below with all available button constants. Since this is an optional field, vbOKOnly<\/strong> is the default constant.
\nTitle (Optional):<\/strong> This is the title of the message box, which appears in the window’s title bar. It can be a string or a variable containing a string. If you don\u2019t specify anything, it will show the name of the application.
\nHelpFile (Optional):<\/strong> This parameter allows you to specify a help file to link to. This is usually used in combination with the Context parameter. The help button would appear only when you use the button code for it.
\nContext (Optional):<\/strong> Used in combination with the HelpFile parameter to specify a Help context ID.<\/p>\n
