I was taking a look to MessageBox. Seems to me that it is quite complete 
with some small things to do. But i saw that a messagebox is implemented 
as a dialog. This seems incorrect to me.

1- The window size for it is unknown when you create it (depends on 
factors as the text lenght)

2- You don't know the buttons it contains until you create it.

3- You don't know if it has an icon until you create it. (current 
implementation will contain a dummy static control)

4- And the worst. What if the system is unable to load resources and you 
want to display an error using a messagebox?

So actually you almost don't know anything until it is created.

That's why I think that everything should be created when the function is 
called. Somebody against it. If you do please explain. Because I'm about 
to change it.

Best Regards
Waldo
