Message Box with Yes and No buttons

Question

I am working on Windows Phone 8, i have scenario where in the message box i am questioning the user, So the user has to click YES or NO.

But the meassage box is having only OK and Cancel buttons, which i dont need it.

Here is my code:

MessageBoxResult m = MessageBox.Show("Are you sure? This will delete all your data", "Attention!", MessageBoxButton.OKCancel);
            if (m == MessageBoxResult.Cancel)
            {

            }
            else
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Data Deleted", "Done", MessageBoxButton.OK);
            } 

How can i modify this to YES and NO buttons ? and also can i have 3 buttons as well with custom text on buttons?

}

And you can call this Message Box

For Yes No Buttons

SLMessageBox messBox;
messBox = new SLMessageBox("Message", "Yes or No Message Box...!", SLMessageBox.MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, SLMessageBox.MessageBoxIcon.Information);
messBox.Show();

For Only Ok Button

SLMessageBox messBox;
messBox = new SLMessageBox("Message", "Ok Message Box...!", SLMessageBox.MessageBoxButtons.Ok, SLMessageBox.MessageBoxIcon.Information);
messBox.Show();

For Ok and Cancel Buttons

SLMessageBox messBox;
messBox = new SLMessageBox("Message", "Ok and Cancel Message Box...!", SLMessageBox.MessageBoxButtons.OkCancel, SLMessageBox.MessageBoxIcon.Information);
messBox.Show();

Edit: And to check the result of the MessageBox what the user clicked

SLMessageBox messBox;
messBox = new SLMessageBox("Message", "Yes, No and Cancel Buttons Message Box...!", SLMessageBox.MessageBoxButtons.YesNoCancel, , SLMessageBox.MessageBoxIcon.Information);
messBox.Show();
messBox.OnMessageBoxClosed += messBox_OnDeleteMessageBoxClosed;

private void messBox_OnDeleteMessageBoxClosed(MessageBoxResult result)
{
   if(result==MessageBoxResult.Yes)
   {
     //....
   }
   else if(result==MessageBoxResult.No)
   {
     //....
   }
   else
   {
     //...
   }
}

Answer 2

The API only exposes the OK/Cancel. you can use the Coding4Fun MessagePrompt from Coding4FunToolkit to create Yes/No message:

MessagePrompt msgPrompt = new MessagePrompt();
msgPrompt.Message = "Your Message.";
Button yesBtn = new Button() { Content = "Yes" };
yesBtn.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(yesBtn_Click);
Button noBtn = new Button() { Content = "No" };
noBtn.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(noBtn_Click);
msgPrompt.ActionPopUpButtons.Add(noBtn);
msgPrompt.ActionPopUpButtons.Add(yesBtn);
msgPrompt.Show();

Answer 3

The API only exposes "OK" and "Cancel". If you need to use different button I'm afraid you'll have to use a custom message box.

Eg http://shawnoster.com/2012/10/welcome-custommessagebox-to-the-windows-phone-toolkit/

Answer 4

No, MessageBox is a sealed type.

You will need to make your own MessageBox control, that has "Yes" and "No" buttons.

Answer 5

Another option is to use the Guide class from the XNA framework. There is a BeginShowMessageBox method giving you the option to pass in whatever strings you wish for the buttons.

if (MessageBox.Show("Are you sure?", "Attention!!", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Warning) == DialogResult.Yes)
            {
                //this block will be executed when Yes is selected
                MessageBox.Show("Data Deleted", "Done", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Asterisk);
            }
            else
            {
                //this block will be executed when No is selected
            }
