VB.NET Tutorial 20 - Advanced Message Box (Visual Basic 2008/2010)

In the first tutorial, we went over how to display a message box. Now in this tutorial, we show our progress by using a message box to ask the user a question and then execute code depending on the answer.

Thanks man you don't know how stressfull you get when you can't find a solution to a problem for about an hour! You da man!

helped me a lot in my big program that i am creating right now! thank you for all your great tutorials!

[sakayaraj]

Very very helpful video and made my life much more easier to write efficient code.

[havatra]

Great video! Good information! That's a good and advanced msgbox, but just to simplify you commands (The commands are the same, just wrote different);

Dim YesNo As New MsgBoxResult
YesNo = msgbox("Whatever", vbyesno + vbquestion, "Whatever")
If YesNo = vbYes Then
'Do Something...
Else
'Do something else...

Because when it comes to programming advanced and big stuff, it's important to make commands as short as possible because of program's efficiency and save work.

You can also try this:

dim mymsg as integer
mymsg = Msgbox("You want to quit?", messagebox.buttons.yesno, messagebox.icon.warning), icon depends on your choice.
Then you can do like
if mymsg = 6 then
application.exit
end if
all the, OK, cancel, yes, no, and so on gives a different value, i'll post them here:

OK = 1
Cancel = 2
Abort = 3
Retry = 4
Ignore = 5
Yes = 6
No = 7

This tutorial is really good.
Can you make an video, to put a scroll bar in message box ?

[Otterinheaven]

My only suggestion might be to reduce to a variable called "yes" at least (I think) it is good programming practice to do this (Makes the if statement easier to read)

[vinayak]

is it requried that every time to identify whether yes or no is pressed we need to use such a long syntax, can we put if statment below msgbox saying
if windows.diaglogresult.yes = "Yes" then
messagebox.show("you clicked Yes Button")

[BadrAlKhamissi]

How to make a form active while there is a message box? I want the user to use a calculator while he can read what's on the message box? Any thoughts?

[KillerGaara]

Also at the "else" at 3:35 can also be ElseIf Windows.Forms.DialogResult.No Then

Mhelodie Gonda - Instead of using MessageBox.Show("You Clicked Yes") use Me.Close()

[TheGuyMath]

@havatra Totally agree with havatra, please make your statements shorter when possible
