The system MessageBox button and font are too small, so I wrote a MessageBox that is convenient for changing the appearance. If there are any interesting features will also be added. There are demo pictures below.

CustomizableMessageBox is available as Nuget Package now.

Features

• Running in Singleton Pattern, it is not suitable for use on a tablet because it can change the font and supports touch operation at runtime.
• The font can be changed and touch operation is supported, so it is suitable for use on a tablet.
• The MessageBox initially has a certain height, but if the Message text content is too much and exceeds the height limit, so that the MessageBox cannot be displayed, the window height will increase accordingly, so that the message can be completely displayed.
• If the height of the MessageBox window reaches the height of the working area of the display, but the message string cannot be displayed, the height of the message box no longer increases, but you can view the remaining messages by scrolling the message area.
• You can change the appearance of your MessageBox at will.
• You can insert custom controls (such as an input box, another button, a progress bar, etc.) in the button area. You can get the user's operation results after calling.
• You can change the content and style of the MessageBox at runtime.

Usage

• Generate the project CustomizableMessageBox, get the corresponding dynamic link library, refer to your own project, and call it. This project comes with examples.
• The Show function parameters of the tool's MessageBox are compatible with the parameters of System.Windows.MessageBox. Simply put in the dll, you can use the MessageBox provided by the tool without making too many changes.
• The MessageBox.Show function of the tool also has some overloads different from the system functions, which can achieve more functions. For example, you can customize the message box button.
• You can change the appearance of the MessageBox by setting properties, such as the font of each part of the window, transparency, background, border, window size, limit height growth, set window width, etc.

Code example

Compatible calling methods

The return value is MessageBoxResult.

MessageBox.Show("message");
MessageBox.Show("message", "title", MessageBoxButton.OKCancel, MessageBoxImage.Question);

Custom calling method

The return value is int, and the value is the index in the parameter button list.

MessageBox.Show(new List<object> { "btn1" }, "msg");
MessageBox.Show(new List<object> { new ButtonSpacer(250), "btn1", "btn2", "btn3", "btn4", "btn5", new ButtonSpacer(30) }, "msg", "title", MessageBoxImage.Asterisk);

Modify style attributes

Modify individually

• Set before calling Show function

MessageBox.ButtonPanelColor = new MessageBoxColor("red");
MessageBox.WindowMinHeight = 300;
MessageBox.MessageFontSize = 22;
MessageBox.Show(new List<object> { "btn1" }, "msg");

Modify in batches

• Set PropertiesSetter in advance

PropertiesSetter ps0 = new PropertiesSetter();
ps0.ButtonBorderThickness = new Thickness(10);
ps0.MessagePanelColor = new MessageBoxColor(Colors.Black);

PropertiesSetter ps1 = new PropertiesSetter(ps0);
ps1.MessagePanelBorderThickness = new Thickness(10, 0, 0, 0);
ps1.ButtonBorderColor = new MessageBoxColor("#222DDD");
ps1.MessageFontFamily = new FontFamily("Times New Roman");
ps1.CloseTimer = new MessageBoxCloseTimer(10, -1);

• Use PropertiesSetter

1. Recommended Set in Show function parameters

MessageBox.Show(ps0, "message", "title", MessageBoxButton.OKCancel, MessageBoxImage.Question);
MessageBox.Show(ps1, new List<object> { "btn1" }, "msg");

2. Set before calling Show function

MessageBox.PropertiesSetter = ps1;
MessageBox.Show(new List<object> { new TextBox(), "btn1" }, "msg");

Modify button area

Insert blank

Insert a ButtonSpacer instance at the corresponding position in the passed in List<object>. The constructor parameter can be empty or specify a width value.

Insert custom control

Insert an instance of a FrameworkElement-derived class at the corresponding position in the passed-in List<object> to display the corresponding control at the corresponding position. </br> The column width is determined by the width of the inserted control. </br>

• You can get the control again after the Show function call returns and get the user input / operation result.

int result = MessageBox.Show(new List<object> { new TextBox(), "btn1", "btn2" }, "msg");
TextBox tb = (TextBox)MessageBox.ButtonList[0];
MessageBox.Show(tb.Text == string.Empty ? "User did not enter" : tb.Text, (string)MessageBox.ButtonList[result]);
