WpfMessageBox

Nuget build:master status

Description

WpfMessageBox is a WPF message box implementation, aimed to be visually balanced between the default WPF style and the native .NET MessageBox. It offers the following features:

  • Returns the standard .NET MessageBoxResults.
  • Uses the standard MessageBox icons.
  • Ability to define custom buttons text.
  • Optional header text.
  • Optional TextBox.
  • Optional CheckBox.

Usage

  1. Install through Nuget

  2. WpfMessageBox uses static method like the standard .NET MessageBox:

    using WpfMessageBoxLibrary;

MessageBoxResult result = WpfMessageBox.Show("Some text", "Some title", MessageBoxButton.OK, MessageBoxImage.Exclamation);

  3. In order to use the extra features offered by WpfMessageBox, you need to initialize a new WpfMessageBoxProperties which will hold the desired properties, then use the relevant static method:

    using WpfMessageBoxLibrary;

var msgProperties = new WpfMessageBoxProperties() {
    Button = MessageBoxButton.OKCancel,
    ButtonOkText = "Set name",
    CheckBoxText = "Don't ask again",
    Image = MessageBoxImage.Exclamation,
    Header = "No name defined",
    IsCheckBoxChecked = true,
    IsCheckBoxVisible = true,
    IsTextBoxVisible = true,
    Text = "Please enter the name to use. You can leave the field empty in order to continue using the default name.",
    Title = "A nice example",
};

MessageBoxResult result = WpfMessageBox.Show(this, ref msgProperties);

  4. The WpfMessageBoxProperties object allows you to retrieve the TextBox and CheckBox values after the user closed the message box:

    bool checkBoxChecked = msgProperties.IsCheckBoxChecked;
string textBoxContent = msgProperties.TextBoxText;

More examples can be found in the Demo project of this repository.
