Expandable Message Box and MsgBox Icon in VB.NET

[JB]

Hi All,

I've been using MsgBox function in VB for years and now that I've
moved to .NET, I'd like to do something a little bit more fancy.
I would like to create a message box that can be expanded to display
more details about an error. I have 2 questions about that:
1 - Is there something like an expandable Message Box built in VB.NET
or will I have to create the form and do all the resizing myself?
2 - How can I display the icon like the one in MsgBox (e.g. a question
mark for MsgBoxStyle.Question, a red cross for MsgBoxStyle. Critical)

I'd appreciate any suggestion.
Thanks

Hi All,

After quite a lot of searching, I've found on a news group a very
simple technique that works fine.
1 - Create an PictureBox control on the form
2 - Set the icon with the following code (in Load event for instance)
With Me.PictureBox1
.BackColor = Color.Transparent
.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.AutoSize
.Image = SystemIcons.Information.ToBitmap 'Other icons available
in SystemIcons
End With
