Hi Sikandar,

Please try this :-

MsgBox "Hello",vbInformation,"Test Title"

Details are below :-

ParameterDescription
promptRequired. The message to show in the message box. Maximum length is 1024 characters. You can separate the lines using a carriage return character (Chr(13)), a linefeed character (Chr(10)), or carriage return-linefeed character combination (Chr(13) & Chr(10)) between each line
buttonsOptional. A value or a sum of values that specifies the number and type of buttons to display, the icon style to use, the identity of the default button, and the modality of the message box. Default value is 0
  • 0 = vbOKOnly - OK button only
  • 1 = vbOKCancel - OK and Cancel buttons
  • 2 = vbAbortRetryIgnore - Abort, Retry, and Ignore buttons
  • 3 = vbYesNoCancel - Yes, No, and Cancel buttons
  • 4 = vbYesNo - Yes and No buttons
  • 5 = vbRetryCancel - Retry and Cancel buttons
  • 16 = vbCritical - Critical Message icon
  • 32 = vbQuestion - Warning Query icon
  • 48 = vbExclamation - Warning Message icon
  • 64 = vbInformation - Information Message icon
  • 0 = vbDefaultButton1 - First button is default
  • 256 = vbDefaultButton2 - Second button is default
  • 512 = vbDefaultButton3 - Third button is default
  • 768 = vbDefaultButton4 - Fourth button is default
  • 0 = vbApplicationModal - Application modal (the current application will not work until the user responds to the message box)
  • 4096 = vbSystemModal - System modal (all applications wont work until the user responds to the message box)

We can divide the buttons values into four groups: The first group (0-5) describes the buttons to be displayed in the message box, the second group (16, 32, 48, 64) describes the icon style, the third group (0, 256, 512, 768) indicates which button is the default; and the fourth group (0, 4096) determines the modality of the message box. When adding numbers to create a final value for the buttons parameter, use only one number from each group

titleOptional. The title of the message box. Default is the application name
helpfileOptional. The name of a Help file to use. Must be used with the context parameter
contextOptional. The Help context number to the Help topic. Must be used with the helpfile parameter


Hope it will work.
