How to get the icon on the messagebox?

Dear Experts,

I have put a picture of a messagebox of another application as attach.
I want to make the same messagbox for my application.
I got everything the same (see the procedure in the code-section) except for the icon.

How could I do that?

Greetings, Peter Kiers

procedure TForm1.DeleteButtonClick(Sender: TObject); var
   node : TTreeNode;
   mess, str : string;
   key_stat : integer;
begin
    Node := Treeview1.Selected;
    if Assigned(Node) then
       begin
       str := Node.Text;
       mess := 'Are you sure that you want to delete the';
       Case Node.ImageIndex of
         15 : mess := mess + ' folder ' + '"' + str + '"?' +#13+
                     'All folders, subfolders, items and subitems will be permanently' +#13+ 'deleted.' +#13;
         17 : mess := mess + ' item ' + '"' + str + '"?' + #13;
       end;
       with Application do
         begin
         NormalizeTopMosts;
         key_stat := MessageBox(pchar(mess), 'Confirm Deletion', MB_YESNO);
         RestoreTopMosts;
       end;
       if key_stat = 7 then  Exit;
       TreeView1.Items.Delete(Treeview1.Selected);
       end
    else ShowMessage('Select a folder in the treeview first.'); 
end;

Use Message Dialog instead

MessageDlg('Confirm Deletion', mtInformation, mbYesNo, 0)

key_stat := MessageBox(pchar(mess), 'Confirm Deletion', MB_YESNO);

into:

key_stat := MessageDlg <====could you help me with the rest?

yes it is works for me too, later you can use

key_stat := MessageBox(0, PChar(mess), PChar('Confirm Deletion'), MB_YESNO + MB_ICONINFORMATION);

if key_stat=7 then Exit; {7=NO}
if key_stat=6 then TreeView1.Items.Delete(Treeview1.Selected); {6=YES}

Thanks, hope it helped,
