Pop up window

[housemi]

Anyone know how I might cause a form or message box to pop-up when a user hits a button? I'd like the form or box to contain a graphic file (and an OK to close). THANKS

The MessageBox.Show() method pops up a Windows message

box with a variety of options, although the only options you have

for pictures are the standard Windows ones: error, information,

question, etc. If you want a message box with your own graphic,

you'll need to make a form and show it by using the ShowDialog()

method.

try displaying a form with the background Image set to the graphic you want, or are you talking about the exclamation icon in MessageBox.Show ?

also, add an OK button to ur form and say Unload Me, that closes the program.

 

So, the first thing you want to do is have ur first form up. After some event(key press, buttonpress) u want to pop up the form.

what you could do is Hide(form1.hide) the first form, and say form2.Show and on form2 add an OK button that says Unload Me and set the background image to ur graphic file

Thanks! That helps!

Unload Me doesnt work, you have to use Me.Close() or whatever your form is called.
