The MessageBox class provides a static Show method that you can use to display a message in a simple dialog box. The dialog box is modal and provides an OK button.
An overload of the Show method enables you to specify a title bar caption and an optional Cancel button. If you display a Cancel button, you can use the return value of the method to determine the user's response.
The message box may have a slightly different appearance on different platforms. For example, the message box includes an icon when it is displayed on a Macintosh.
