Q: Modify text on buttons in the MessageBox, possible?

[Visual Systems AB \(Martin Arvidsson\)]

Hi!

Is it possible to modify the text in the MessageBox class?

There are a couple of buttons with a standard text. What i want is to set a
text of my own.

I have inherited the class, but there are no suitable methods to override
for handeling this.

Is there a base class that i need to alter?

Hello,

Sorry, but I don't think you can. However, you CAN create your own dialogs.
Simply create a standard form. Add two buttons (OK & Cancel) set the
DialogResult property for theese buttons, set the Form.AcceptButt on and
Form.CancelButt on to theese buttons, change the Form.BorderStyl e to
FixedDialog, remove the MaximizeBox and MinimizeBox. Use the
Form.ShowDialog () method as such:
if (new myDialog().Show Dialog() == DialogResult.OK ) {
// accept button
}

Now you should have a perfectly looking CUSTOM dialogbox :)
