You cannot using the standard message box. However, there are a couple of possible replacements on CP:


If you don't want to use a drop in replacement, but do this yourself, then you'll want to look at subclassing the MFC message box - the article[^] mentioned by CPallini shows how to subclass the message box

You have to make your own version of the message box. The techniques explained in the following (bit dated) article may help: "Do not ask again" Message Boxes[^].

My personal favourite custom message box is XMessageBox - A reverse-engineered MessageBox()[^]. This will automatically style itself to look like the Vista message box on Vista and 7.

I like and use this one too, but it doesn't support bold text

Then make it. The idea of having the source is that you can change it easily.

If I remember correctly, it already uses custom fonts, so just set the fBold parameter to TRUE.
