To disable skin paddings or modify padding values, do one of the following.

  • Disable the XtraMessageBoxArgs.UseSkinPaddings property (affects message boxes that use this XtraMessageBoxArgs object).
XtraMessageBoxArgs args = new XtraMessageBoxArgs();
args.UseSkinPaddings = false;
XtraMessageBox.Show(args);
  • Change ...Padding properties of the XtraMessageBoxArgs object to set up custom padding sizes for individual content blocks.
XtraMessageBoxArgs args = new XtraMessageBoxArgs();
args.ButtonPadding = new Padding(30);
args.ContentPadding = new Padding(100);
args.DoNotShowAgainCheckBoxPadding = new Padding(30);
args.TextPadding = new Padding(30);
args.IconPadding = new Padding(30);

args.Icon = new Icon(@"D:\demoicon.ico");
args.Caption = "XtraMessageBox";
args.Text = "Do you really want to close the app?";
args.Buttons = new DialogResult[] { DialogResult.Yes, DialogResult.No };
args.DoNotShowAgainCheckBoxVisible = true;

XtraMessageBox.Show(args);
  • Create a custom skin in WinForms Skin Editor and modify values of “Message Box Paddings” group properties.
