Remarks

You can handle the Showing event for the args parameter to dynamically customize the message box content and buttons. The code below illustrates an example.

C#

XtraMessageBoxArgs args = new XtraMessageBoxArgs();
args.Showing += Args_Showing;
args.Caption = "Default Text";
args.Buttons = new DialogResult[] { DialogResult.OK, DialogResult.Cancel };
XtraMessageBox.Show(args);

//...
private void Args_Showing(object sender, XtraMessageShowingArgs e) {
    e.Form.Text = "Custom Text";
    e.Buttons[DialogResult.OK].Text = "Yes";
    e.Buttons[DialogResult.Cancel].Text = "No";
}

VB.NET

Dim args As New XtraMessageBoxArgs
AddHandler args.Showing, AddressOf Me.args_Showing
args.Caption = "Default Text"
args.Buttons = New DialogResult() {DialogResult.OK, DialogResult.Cancel}
XtraMessageBox.Show(args)

'. . .
Private Sub args_Showing(sender As Object, e As XtraMessageShowingArgs)
    e.Form.Text = "Custom Text"
    e.Buttons(DialogResult.OK).Text = "Yes"
    e.Buttons(DialogResult.Cancel).Text = "No"
End Sub

As a result, the displayed message box will have content and button captions that differ from those that were initially set.
