See Question&Answers more detail:osYou can't restyle the default MessageBox as that's dependant on the current Windows OS theme, however you can easily create your own MessageBox. Just add a new form (i.e. MyNewMessageBox) to your project with these settings:
FormBorderStyle FixedToolWindow
ShowInTaskBar False
StartPosition CenterScreen
To show it use myNewMessageBoxInstance.ShowDialog();
. And add a label and buttons to your form, such as OK and Cancel and set their DialogResults appropriately, i.e. add a button to MyNewMessageBox
and call it btnOK
. Set the DialogResult
property in the property window to DialogResult.OK
. When that button is pressed it would return the OK result:
MyNewMessageBox myNewMessageBoxInstance = new MyNewMessageBox();
DialogResult result = myNewMessageBoxInstance.ShowDialog();
if (result == DialogResult.OK)
{
// etc
}
It would be advisable to add your own Show method that takes the text and other options you require:
public DialogResult Show(string text, Color foreColour)
{
lblText.Text = text;
lblText.ForeColor = foreColour;
return this.ShowDialog();
}
