Call MessageDlg to bring up a message box and obtain the user's response.
Msg
is the content of the message that appears.
DlgType
indicates the purpose of the dialog.
Buttons
is a set of buttons and indicates what buttons should appear in the message box. The buttons appear in the same order they appear in the Buttons set.
HelpCtx
