Custom Messagebox with background

[dminder]

I was kind of toying around with a program that a customer wants that follows a theme. The only problem was that the messageboxes did not match the theme. So I created a little messagebox - it is sort of limited at the moment but it works and works well!! It allows you to set a background image or enter "Nothing" to have it be the default color. I will try to enter more functionality as I go.

EDITED: After adding overloads and fixing some bugs, etc. I had to put into a zip file.

Added as of 6/19/2007:

• Basic Overloads such as message only, message and title only, added an option for specifying font in one overload.

• Background Overloads also now have an option for Layout.

• Added Code for when form closes, this was an oversight on my part originally, and I apologize.

• Added 3rd button along with enhanced button options - mirroring original messagebox

• Added DialogResults

Any comments, suggestions, etc. are welcome and appreciated!!

I hope you enjoy this!!

Here is an example:

    Private Sub btnExit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnExit.Click
        If m.Show("Are you sure you want to exit?", "Confirm Exit", msgbox._Buttons.YesNo, Me.BackgroundImage, ImageLayout.Stretch) = msgbox.DialogResult.Yes Then
            Application.Exit()
        End If
    End Sub

I am also working on adding the picturebox icon to it. If you have any other questions or problems, let me know.

Thanks!

What is this Glass.Glassbutton? Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks

What is this Glass.Glassbutton? It gets errors when including in a project on glass.glassbutton.

Glassbutton is a 3rd party control I found/downloaded on CodeProject.com - The .dll is attached. I have not updated it at all, it is a c# project and is too large to post as attachment. I thought the .dll had been included in the original .zip file......

Good Luck all!

P.S. Pls accept my apologies because I have not had the time to enhance this project further.
