Changing Text on MessageBoxButtons

[Guest]

Hi,

I am using VS 2003 to write a C# application. I want to display a MessageBox but I want two buttons: "Repeat" and "Cancel". I realize there is a RetryCancel option but I would really like it to say "Repeat". Is there a way to do this?

Thank you,
Joe

Only way to do it is to make your own component which derived from the MessageBox Class

How (comment)?
MessageBox only exposes the Shared/static Show method.
E.g. in VB.NET this fails:

Public Class MyMessageBox
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox
....
End Class

That would require a windows hook
It's *much* easier to roll your own

Hi,

Just to add some info to the answer. I agree with Claes that is better to
write your own rather than to use windows hooks. However there was an
article in MSDN Magazine about how to costumize the message box.

The article is called
" Using Windows Hooks to Enhance MessageBox in .NET " by Dino Esposito
and can be found in the November 2002 issue of MSDN magazine or online at
