CountdownButton.ModalResult := mrOk;
CountdownButton.Default := True;
CountdownButton.Enabled := False;
CountdownCallback := WrapTimerProc(@CountdownProc, 4);
Timer := SetTimer(0, 0, 1000, CountdownCallback);
try

finally
KillTimer(0, Timer);
end;
finally
Form.Free();

end;
end;
Use it like:
CountdownMessageBox('Message here', 10);
