Anybody know what this warning dialog is called?  I'd like to use this type of pop up in an add in I'm creating, I just have no idea how to call it.
It's nice because it disappears immediately after the user clicks anywhere on the computer.

I've only ever seen this type with Visio's internal messages. I don't think it is available from the API.

You will need to use your own form and handle this yourself.

If done in VBA, simplest would be to use a timer on the form and periodically call GetAsyncKeyState (Win API) to determine mouse click etc.

If VB6 (or .Net), the you could have a form and handle mouse click withing the form or the lost focus event if mouse is clicked outside.
