Closing a msgbox w/o user interaction

[Guest]

Is there a way to display a message box and have it close after a certain amount of time w/o user interaction?

No, at least not easily. Making your own Form is easier.

As e'er I did with VB 6, I'd suggest you write you own message box
replacement.
First you hit this "timing" problem, then the need to have different
captions
on a varying number of buttons, then different, custom, images ... in the
end, it's easier to write your own to start with; you'll never look back.

Hi Evan

I am almost sure I have seen a very *simple* solution for your exact
question

However when it was my problem I would, create a form and set a
forms.form.timer in it from where I on the the tick event would close the
form

(And set something as topmost in it).

Translate this VB6 sample to VB.NET:
