Open button on Messagebox

Question

I have a WinForms application, and when it is finished running, displays a message box with just an OK button.

Is it possible to have an OPEN button on the message box too?

I found this code online:

public static DialogResult Show(string text, string caption, MessageBoxButtons buttons);

But it only gives basic commands, like Yes / No , OK / Cancel , etc. It doesn't show any open button.

I want to OPEN a text file after my program has finished running.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

No, you can't have any other values in a message box rather than the default, the MessageBoxButtons is predefined enum and you can't add to it. The solution is either use some custom message box, check this , or implement your own MessageBoxForm and add your custom settings to it, check this .

Answer 2

The MessageBox.Show methods exposes serval overloads. You can use one of them as you like. To invoke a MessageBox, simply execute following line:

MessageBox.Show("Hi");

For information you can find on MSDN.
