Custom Enum for MessageBox

Dr Cake
8 New Member
Hello, recently I've been trying to "play" with MessageBoxes and wondered how may I add custom buttons. A basic MessageBox should look like this:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. MessageBox.Show("Message", "Title", MessageBoxButtons.Something);
However, I'd like to know how to create one with Once, Weekly, Monthly, Daily and Cancel, instead of MessageBoxButto ns.Something. I've tried creating an enum and it displayed on the MessageBox, however, it does let me choose only one of options (Once, Daily, Monthly, etc). How may I make it work properly with MessageBox.Show , so user choose one of these options?

This is how the enum looks like by the way:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. public enum Frequency { Once, Weekly, Monthly, Daily, Cancel }

This is a restatement of an earlier post that evidently wasn't clear. I am building a custom MessageBox dialog that has, among other things, a few new button options (yes to all, no to all, etc.) and would like to make the dialog look and act like the standard MessageBox. Therefore, I would like to put in the message section the same type of icons found in the MessageBox dialog, such as MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation. In another post here I had...

I have a custom enum to list comparison operators: =, <, <=, >, >= . I have created it as follows: public enum Comparator {Equal, LessThan, LessThanOrEqual,GreaterThan,GreaterThanOrEqual} Now I have to create static functions to convert these enum values to/from the actual comparison operator strings. As I understand it, I can't add methods to an enum, so is there any more elegant way to do this?

Hello, does anyone know how to produce a data type which offers Enum-like IntelliSense in VS 2005? What I am trying to create is a type which is very similar to an enum, i.e. has a fixed set of values, but provides some more methods. Unfortunately, you cannot derive from System.Enum to do this. I noticed that if you type "Dim C as System.Drawing.Color = ", the editor will display a list of colors, but this are actually ReadOnly Shared

So I was needing some extra power from my enums and implemented the typesafe enum pattern. And it got me to thinking... why should I EVER use standard enums? There's now a nice little code snippet that I wrote today that gives me an instant implementation of the pattern. I could easily just always use such an implementation instead of a standard enum, so I wanted to know what you experts all thought. Is there a case for standard enums?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
