MessageBox Class

Definition

Displays a message window, also known as a dialog box, which presents a message to the user. It is a modal window, blocking other actions in the application until the user closes it. A MessageBox can contain text, buttons, and symbols that inform and instruct the user.

public class MessageBox

MessageBox

Examples

The following code example shows how to use a MessageBox to inform the user of a missing entry in a TextBox. This example requires that the method is called from an existing form with a TextBox named ServerName on it.

private void validateUserEntry()
{
    // Checks the value of the text.
    if(serverName.Text.Length == 0)
    {
        // Initializes the variables to pass to the MessageBox.Show method.
        string message = "You did not enter a server name. Cancel this operation?";
     string caption = "Error Detected in Input";
        MessageBoxButtons buttons = MessageBoxButtons.YesNo;
        DialogResult result;

        // Displays the MessageBox.
        result = MessageBox.Show(message, caption, buttons);
        if (result == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes)
        {
            // Closes the parent form.
            this.Close();
        }
    }
}

The following code example shows how to ask the user a yes or no question and make a decision based on the response.

private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
{
    const string message =
        "Are you sure that you would like to close the form?";
    const string caption = "Form Closing";
    var result = MessageBox.Show(message, caption,
                                 MessageBoxButtons.YesNo,
                                 MessageBoxIcon.Question);

    // If the no button was pressed ...
    if (result == DialogResult.No)
    {
        // cancel the closure of the form.
        e.Cancel = true;
    }
}

Remarks

You cannot create a new instance of the MessageBox class. To display a message box, call the static method MessageBox.Show. The title, message, buttons, and icons displayed in the message box are determined by parameters that you pass to this method.
