Copy Text from MessageBox/MsgBox

If you’ve ever been frustrated because you thought standard message boxes didn’t allow you to select the text within it and copy it to the clipboard, secretGeek has a cool little tip for you. You can simply hit Ctrl-C with the focus on the message box and all the text will be sent to the clipboard. Useful when you need to take down a detailed error message, without resorting to a screenshot. This should work for most applications that use the standard message box control.
