messagebox with a textbox??

[GornHorse]

Hi There,

 

Is there a way to prompt the user with a messagebox that contains a textbox??

 

If this is possible, that would be great!

 

If someone has managed to do this, please provide some help in vb.net.

 

 

Regards,

Michelle :D

MessageBox's don't contain TextBoxes... do you mean you want to include images? If you do, you can use the predefined icons in a MessageBox (Exclamation, Question, etc). By setting the appropriate parameter of the .Show() method. Anything above that and you'll need to design your own form to look like a message box.

Considered an InPutBox? As in:

 

Dim password As String
       password = InputBox("Re-enter your password.  Your Password may not be left blank.", "Password Confirmation")

Just my opinion on InputBoxes :):

Not only they are not not part of the framework, but they look so ugly and unprofessional.

D'oh! I completely midunderstood the question. :o

Mutant,

No argument here. Ugly doesn't even describe it adequately. I would prefer my own designed form. But he did ask....

That's ok, i've got a temporary backup, i have made a panel that pops up to prompt the user with a textbox entry.

 

What this does, is on the CancelButton (ESC) event the panel will appear and ask the user which payment they wish to remove - the textbox is there for the user to type in the payment number they want to remove , there are then two buttons, an OK and a CANCEL button.

 

It doesn't look too bad, as i can make it look very similar to a messagebox, but if anyone comes across this in the future, please let me know if you've figured out how to put a textbox into a messagebox.

 

This would be a great feature!!

 

Cheers,

Michelle
