    pseudo show message box

    Is there a way to show a message box inside of something, like a picture box?

    Like say I make a form, it has controls around it, and in the center is an empty black box. Instead of popping up an error, I want it to be shown in the box. I realize I could probably create an image on the fly, but I would never emulate how the message box looks exactly and that is what I want to do.

    Suggestions or unpossible?

    Everything is possible, just that the effort required to produce this might be way more than the payoff.

    Why is this a need if I might ask?

    It would make making custom messageboxes off of the MessageBox class much more easier. That and I'm bored and was wondering how it could even be done (since it, by default, pops up and requires input)

    This is what it may come down to and what I was thinking about doing.
