ctype module with threading

i was using the tkinter messagebox but it would crash my code. i didn't want to find out why so i used the ctypes module instead.

for example:

import ctypes
ctypes.windll.user32.MessageBoxW(0, "Your text", "Your title", 1)

i got that code from Arkelis

i liked that it didn't crash the code so i worked on it and added a threading so the code after would run.

example for my code

import ctypes
import threading


def MessageboxThread(buttonstyle, title, text, icon):
    threading.Thread(
        target=lambda: ctypes.windll.user32.MessageBoxW(buttonstyle, text, title, icon)
    ).start()

messagebox(0, "Your title", "Your text", 1)

for button styles and icon numbers:

## Button styles:
# 0 : OK
# 1 : OK | Cancel
# 2 : Abort | Retry | Ignore
# 3 : Yes | No | Cancel
# 4 : Yes | No
# 5 : Retry | No
# 6 : Cancel | Try Again | Continue

## To also change icon, add these values to previous number
# 16 Stop-sign icon
# 32 Question-mark icon
# 48 Exclamation-point icon
# 64 Information-sign icon consisting of an 'i' in a circle
