This ActiveX control displays customized messages on the standard system error screen, without causing a system crash. It allows users to modify the caption, text, and styles of the screen.
BlueScreen is a unique ActiveX control that allows users to display custom messages on the infamous "blue screen of death". Unlike other software solutions that simulate blue screens, BlueScreen calls the standard system error screen while reassigning its caption, text, and styles. The best part? It won't crash your system!
When using BlueScreen, the process closely resembles that of the standard MessageBox function. Users simply specify the text, caption, and "buttons" for display before invoking the appropriate method and receiving the return value.
One of the standout features of BlueScreen is its support for OEM character sets in localized versions of Windows. This means that users are free to use their native language to specify caption and text properties.
Lastly, it's worth noting that BlueScreen is entirely self-contained as an ActiveX control. This means that there is no need for any additional libraries or packages, making it easy to use straight out of the box. Overall, BlueScreen is a fantastic solution that is perfect for anyone looking to add a touch of personality and customization to their system's error messages.
