Just with any other object in .Net you can sub class it to create your own variant. Just create a class cMsgBox which inherits from the messagebox object then play away! This is an example of a treenode

Public Class cTreeNode
'Subclass by inheriting the TreeNode
Inherits TreeNode
'each of the below public declarations will be "visible" to the outside
Public m_caType As Catergories
Public m_sName As String
Public m_sExtra As String
Public m_iChildren As Int32
Public m_iDBID As Int32

Sub New(ByVal caType As Catergories, ByVal sName As String, ByVal iDBID As Int32, ByVal iImageIndex As Int32, ByVal iSelectedImageIndex As Int32, Optional ByVal sExtra As String = Nothing, Optional ByVal iChildren As Int32 = Nothing)
MyBase.New()
'transfer all incoming parameters to your local storage
m_caType = caType
m_sName = sName
m_sExtra = sExtra
m_iChildren = iChildren
m_iDBID = iDBID
'and finally, pass back the TreeNode.Text property
Me.Text = m_sName & m_sExtra
Me.SelectedImageIndex = iImageIndex
Me.ImageIndex = iSelectedImageIndex
End Sub

End Class

Can't seem to do it using the method i posted. I'm intrigued now, anyone shed any light on this subject. Get the message on mybase.new, does this mean that the messagebox object can't be inherited?

'System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Private Overloads Sub New()' is not accessible in this context because it is 'Private'.

Does anyone have any additional information on this? The message box that comes up on my app looks terrible - out of place since the form behind has it's back color changed. Any way to make this look better?

Thanks

Just design your own
