MessageBox() - More than 3 Buttons possible?

[emches]

Hello,

according to the documentation (https://docs.mql4.com/constants/io_constants/messbconstants)

"The main flags of the MessageBox() function define contents and behavior of the dialog window. This value can be a combination of the following flag groups:"

But when I try this:

int PlaceTrade = MessageBox(MessageBoxMsg+"\n"+"\n","Place Order?",0x00000004|0x00000001);
 if(PlaceTrade==6){ Print("MB: YES Button Pressed");}  // -------------- Message BOX returns YES
 if(PlaceTrade==7){ Print("MB: NO Button Pressed");}  // -------------- Message BOX returns NO
 if(PlaceTrade==1){ Print("MB: OK Button Pressed");}  // -------------- Message BOX returns OK
 if(PlaceTrade==2){ Print("MB: Cancel Button Pressed");}  // -------------- Message BOX returns Cancel

I get a Box with "Retry" and "Cancel".

Same result when i try with MB_YESNO | MB_OKCANCEL

Anybody know how to get the combined flags to work?

Hello,

I guess it means that we can have a combination of flags from the "following three groups", so one of each group: button, icon, default button

I thought the same, however the last line on that page shows this:

MB_DEFBUTTON4

0x00000300

The fourth button is default

So there must be a way to get a fourth button somehow.

It looks like a Windows case, I read this https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20081219-00/?p=19773
