Lesson 10 : Built-in
Functions
In programming, a function is comparable to a
procedure, but it serves a distinct purpose. While
both accept input and perform specific actions, the
primary objective of a function is to receive user
input, process it, and return a value that is
subsequently utilized by the main program to
complete its execution
In this lesson, you will learn two very basic but useful internal
functions of Visual basic , i.e. the MsgBox( ) and InputBox ( )
functions.
Lesson 10 : Built-in
Functions
MsgBox ( ) Function
The objective of MsgBox is to produce

a pop-up message box that prompt the
user to click on a command button
before he /she can continues. The
format is as follows:
yourMsg=MsgBox(Prompt,Style Value, Title)
Lesson 10 : Built-in Functions
Structure:
MsgBox(Prompt,Style Value,
Title)
Prompt - will display the message in
the message box.
Style Value - will determine what type of
command buttons appear on the message box
Title - will appear at the top of message
