Remarks

Example 1

The code below uses HTML tags to format the XtraMessageBox caption and content texts.

C#

XtraMessageBoxArgs xma = new XtraMessageBoxArgs();
xma.Caption = "<b><color=green>Greed Bold Title</color></b>";
xma.Text = "<color=red><size=+4>Increased red content text</size></color>";
xma.AllowHtmlText = DevExpress.Utils.DefaultBoolean.True;
XtraMessageBox.Show(xma);

VB.NET

Dim xma As New XtraMessageBoxArgs()
xma.Caption = "<b><color=green>Greed Bold Title</color></b>"
xma.Text = "<color=red><size=+4>Increased red content text</size></color>"
xma.AllowHtmlText = DevExpress.Utils.DefaultBoolean.True
XtraMessageBox.Show(xma)

Example 2

The code below shows how to add an image from Resources:

C#

XtraMessageBoxArgs args = new XtraMessageBoxArgs();
args.AllowHtmlText = DevExpress.Utils.DefaultBoolean.True;
args.Caption = "Message";
args.Text = "Text<image=#imgResourceName>";
XtraMessageBox.Show(args);

VB.NET

Dim args As New XtraMessageBoxArgs()
args.AllowHtmlText = DevExpress.Utils.DefaultBoolean.True
args.Caption = "Message"
args.Text = "Text<image=#imgResourceName>"
XtraMessageBox.Show(args)

Alternatively, you can use an image from a collection.
