Default Font in MsgBox?

Thanks - this gives me something to work on :-)

If all you are looking to do is to align text use vbTab to align the

msgBox "This" & vbtab & "1234" & vbcrlf & "Thing" & vbtab & "456"

Yeps, but as stated, I just wanted to change the font temporary,
since I figured it was a system setting....

Yeps, a userform could do the trick, but if is just some quick
feedback, I really think a userform is shooting birds with a cannon
:-)

Unfortunately MsgBox cannot really allign feedback, unless you use a
fixed width font, like Lucida Console.

But, temporary changing the font probably need an API function?
And, I'm not really into that part of programming.... :-(

Can anyone help?


TIA,


CE

I know there no way to directly change the font used in a MsgBox,
but I figure there might be a workaround?
Someway of reading the font currently being used (some system
setting?) Then set a new font, and show MsgBox.
And, finally set the system font back...
But, which font is used in the MsgBox???
Where to find it?
Maybe someone even know where to change it?
PS: The font I want to use it "Lucida Console", if that helps...
TIA,
