Remarks

The message box is modal, which means that the user must click a button or press ESC to dismiss the message.

If the button parameter is OK, then the return value is OK in all cases.

If the button parameter is OKCancel, then the return value is OK only when the user has clicked the OK button. Otherwise, the return value is Cancel.

Examples

The following example code demonstrates how to use this method.

Dim result As MessageBoxResult = _
    MessageBox.Show("Would you like to see the simple version?", _
    "MessageBox Example", MessageBoxButton.OKCancel)

If (result = MessageBoxResult.OK) Then
    MessageBox.Show("No caption, one button.")
End If

MessageBoxResult result = 
    MessageBox.Show("Would you like to see the simple version?", 
    "MessageBox Example", MessageBoxButton.OKCancel);

if (result == MessageBoxResult.OK)
{
    MessageBox.Show("No caption, one button.");
}
