Remarks

DevExpress skins store element paddings that increase the empty area around message box content blocks.

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

• Disable the static XtraMessageBox.UseSkinPaddings property (affects all message boxes in your app).

C#

XtraMessageBox.UseSkinPaddings = false;

VB.NET

XtraMessageBox.UseSkinPaddings = False

• Disable the XtraMessageBoxArgs.UseSkinPaddings property (affects message boxes that use this XtraMessageBoxArgs object).

C#

XtraMessageBoxArgs args = new XtraMessageBoxArgs();
args.UseSkinPaddings = false;
XtraMessageBox.Show(args);

VB.NET

Dim args As 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.

C#

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);

VB.NET

Dim args As 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)
