Hi all,
I'm working on a VB.Net project where in part of it I catch a pop up message box when it's displayed and handle it in some way.
My problem is that I have to know what buttons are included in this pop up window (their captions mainly).
Is this possible? Can someone please tell me how this can be done? A sample would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Well, buttons are nothing but more windows. You just look for more child windows of the message box window you found.

You can NOT just get the handle from a window and then try to cast it to a Form object and expect all the properties to work. It just doesn't work that way.
