Getting Started with WinForms MessageBox

The following tutorial will show you a simple usage of RadMessageBox:

1. Create a new Windows Application in Visual Studio

2. Drag and drop a RadButton on the form.

3. Subscribe to the Click event of this RadButton.

4. Make sure that you import/use the following namespaces

    RadMessageBox.SetThemeName("Desert");

    DialogResult ds = RadMessageBox.Show(this, "Are you sure?", "Title", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, RadMessageIcon.Question);
    this.Text = ds.ToString();
}

Private Sub RadButton1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadButton1.Click
    RadMessageBox.SetThemeName("Desert")
