messagebox

How to apply the default Windows style to the standard MessageBox in WPF? For example, when I execute next code: MessageBox.Show("Hello Stack Overflow!", "Test", MessageBoxButton.OKCancel, MessageBoxImage.Exclamation); I'm getting message box: But in WinForms everything is OK with style: MessageBox.Show("Hello Stack Overflow!", "Test", MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation); Gimno According to this page, WPF picks up the old styles for some of the controls.

I'm trying to make a custom message box with my controls. public static partial class Msg : Form { public static void show(string content, string description) { } } Actually I need to place some controls (a gridview) in this form and I have to apply my own theme for this window, so I don't want to use MessageBox . I want to call this from my other forms like Msg.show(parameters); I don't wish to create an object for this form. I know I can't inherit from Form class because it isn't static. But I wonder how MessageBox is implemented, because it is static. It is being called like MessageBox.show

I have a Windows Forms application VS2010 C# where I display a MessageBox for show a message. I have an okay button, but if they walk away, I want to timeout and close the message box after lets say 5 seconds, automatically close the message box. There are custom MessageBox (that inherited from Form) or another reporter Forms, but it would be interesting not necessary a Form. Any suggestions or samples about it?

Something like the following saved in MessageBox.vbs : Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments messageText = objArgs(0) MsgBox messageText Which you would call like: cscript MessageBox.vbs "This will be shown in a popup." MsgBox reference if you are interested in going this route. Joey First of all, DOS has nothing to do with it, you probably want a Windows command
