Tip

This class is outdated. Use the ThemedMessageBox class to display a message box with DevExpress visual themes support.

The following code snippet shows how to display the DXMessageBox window on the button click:

C#

private void Button_Click_1(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
    DXMessageBox.Show(caption: "Dialog Header", messageBoxText: "This is your message", button: MessageBoxButton.OKCancel, icon: MessageBoxImage.Exclamation);
}

VB.NET

Private Sub Button_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
  DXMessageBox.Show(caption:="Dialog Header", messageBoxText:="This is your message", button:=MessageBoxButton.OKCancel, icon:=MessageBoxImage.Exclamation)
End Sub 

The DXMessageBox emulates standard Microsoft Windows message boxes. Use one of the DXMessageBox.Show methods to display a DXMessageBox with the desired text, icon, title and set of buttons. Some of these methods provide even more advanced options, such as which button is initially highlighted or what floating mode the DXMessageBox will use.

DXMessageBoxes fully support application themes. Refer to the List of DevExpress WPF Themes topic for more information on available themes.
