Fields

Name	Value	Description
None	0	The message box contains no symbols.
Error	16	The message box contains a symbol consisting of white X in a circle with a red background.
Hand	16	The message box contains a symbol consisting of a white X in a circle with a red background.
Stop	16	The message box contains a symbol consisting of white X in a circle with a red background.
Question	32	The message box contains a symbol consisting of a question mark in a circle. The question mark message icon is no longer recommended because it does not clearly represent a specific type of message and because the phrasing of a message as a question could apply to any message type. In addition, users can confuse the question mark symbol with a help information symbol. Therefore, do not use this question mark symbol in your message boxes. The system continues to support its inclusion only for backward compatibility.
Exclamation	48	The message box contains a symbol consisting of an exclamation point in a triangle with a yellow background.
Warning	48	The message box contains a symbol consisting of an exclamation point in a triangle with a yellow background.
Asterisk	64	The message box contains a symbol consisting of a lowercase letter i in a circle.
