in C# winforms when we display a message box it has no title in the title bar and no title in its button that is in the task bar.
What if i want to set title and icon for a message box.
one option is that create a form that appears and behaves like a message box and i show and hide it when i want. yes that can be done but i want to modify the "MessageBox"
Use a MessageBox.Show overload such as:
public static DialogResult Show(
string text,
string caption,
MessageBoxButtons buttons,
MessageBoxIcon icon
)
passing your title bar text in caption and your icon in icon e.g.
MessageBox.Show("Oh noes!", "My Application", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
There is an overloaded version of show message box that will accept a title string and let you specify the icon and number/type of buttons.
The MessageBox.Show method has a bunch of overrides that allow you to set the properties of the pop-up.

One short 2 line answer , your name space using System.Windows.Forms; will already be there , in message box you need to pass all parameters , it might not work if you uses only icon
using System.Windows.Forms;
MessageBox.Show("yourmessage","yourTitle",MessageBoxButtons.OK,MessageBoxIcon.Error);

I have a win form containing only progress bar and
logic for opening and closing an excel or word document using interopt dll.
This win form runs when I click a button in my web application.
The problem is, the win form after closing document displays a Message Box.
This message box always remains in the taskbar instead of Showing up in the
screen.
PS:
DialogResult Result = MessageBox.Show("Save","Confirm", MessageBoxButtons.YesNoCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Question);
When I give the message box in this format, the message box always remains in the taskbar. But the functionalities given as properties for the message box works fine.
DialogResult Result = MessageBox.Show("Save","Confirm", MessageBoxButtons.YesNoCancel,MessageBoxOptions.DefaultDesktopOnly, MessageBoxIcon.Question);
When I give the message box in this format, the message box does not remains in the taskbar
but the variable "Result" always returns "No".
Thanks in Advance
Try the below:
DialogResult Secondpopups = MessageBox.Show(new Form() { TopMost = true },"Message u need to diaplay", "Title of the Message", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
How I can make message box as like this in picture:
in C# WPF

You can create the icon with MessageBoxIcon.Information. If you want to create a link, you should probably create a different form and send data between your form1 and form2.
I have a program that contains a list of names, and a button that displays a random name in a MessageBox. Is there any way I can add a button "Copy" next to the OK to the MessageBox, that when clicked copies the name and then closes?
If the above isn't possible, is there a way to enable copying the text in a MessageBox?
Thank you.
edit: My users won't understand Ctrl+C, Highlight and Right Click > Copy is what I'm looking for (if a Copy button isn't possible)
If a user presses Ctrl-C while the MessageBox has focus, the message, the MessageBox caption and the MessageBoxButtons labels are copied to the clipboard.
I googled your title and found this..
Or if you really need a button that says copy you can create your own MessageBox with a new windows form and then do what you want with the buttons. Open it like this to keep the MessageBox feel :
var myMessageBox = new CustomMessageBox();
myMessageBox.ShowDialog();
It sounds like maybe you are looking for the Clipboard class.
Clipboard.SetText(variableWithValue);
There is also another answer here about manipulating the contents of a Message Box.
It also might be easier to simply make a modal dialog that emulates a MessageBox without actually using the MessageBox class.
I try to create a custom MessageBoxImage for the build in MessageBoxResult
For the custom MessageBoxImage enumeration, I have:
public enum CustomBoxImage
{
Foo = new BitmapImage(new Uri(#"pack://application:,,,/MySoftware;component/Images/foo.png"))
}
and the MessageBoxResult, I have:
MessageBoxResult mrb = MessageBox.Show(
"This will kill you. Are you sure?",
"Kill you",
MessageBoxButton.YesNo, CustomBoxImage.Foo);
But it gives me this error:
Cannot convert from "...CustomBoxImage" to "System.Windows.MessageBoxImage'
How can I insert a customized image enumeration into MessageBoxResult? Or, is it even possible?
You can't customize the message boxes beyond the given options. If you need a fully customized one, you can use a 3rd party component. You can even make a window look fully like a message box and customize it if you really need to.
You can't change the signature of the Show method but you can create a converter between your enumeration and the MessageBoxImage enumeration.
if you want to use things that is not provide by the MessageBox, you can create your own messagebox.
I have a WinForms application, and when it is finished running, displays a message box with just an OK button.
Is it possible to have an OPEN button on the message box too?
I found this code online:
public static DialogResult Show(string text, string caption, MessageBoxButtons buttons);
But it only gives basic commands, like Yes / No, OK / Cancel, etc. It doesn't show any open button.
I want to OPEN a text file after my program has finished running.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
No, you can't have any other values in a message box rather than the default, the MessageBoxButtons is predefined enum and you can't add to it. The solution is either use some custom message box, check this, or implement your own MessageBoxForm and add your custom settings to it, check this.
The MessageBox.Show methods exposes serval overloads. You can use one of them as you like. To invoke a MessageBox, simply execute following line:
MessageBox.Show("Hi");
For information you can find on MSDN.
