The MessageBox which automatically closes after the specific timeout.
Use the AutoClosingMessageBox.Show
method either as follows:
// Fire and forget - it about to be closed after default timeout(1000ms)
AutoClosingMessageBox.Show("Hello, World!");
or follows:
// Wait for some result or make the default decision
var result = AutoClosingMessageBox.Show(
text: "To be or not to be?",
caption: "The question",
timeout: 2500,
buttons: MessageBoxButtons.YesNo,
defaultResult: DialogResult.Yes);
if(result == DialogResult.Yes) {
// to be
}
else {
// or not
}
You can also use the AutoClosingMessageBoxFactory
method to get full control on MessageBox showing:
var toBeOrNotToBeQuestion = AutoClosingMessageBox.Factory(
showMethod: (caption, buttons) =>
MessageBox.Show(this, "To be or not to be?", caption, buttons, MessageBoxIcon.Question),
caption: "The question"
);
if(DialogResult.Yes == toBeOrNotToBeQuestion.Show(
timeout: 2500,
buttons: MessageBoxButtons.YesNo,
defaultResult: DialogResult.Yes)) {
// to be
}
else {
// or not
}
