Appearance of MessageBoxAdv

The appearance of the MessageBoxAdv can be customized by using the following properties of the MetroStyleColorTable.

AbortButtonBackColor
CancelButtonBackColor
IgnoreButtonBackColor
NoButtonBackColor
OKButtonBackColor
RetryButtonBackColor
YesButtonBackColor
CaptionBarColor
CaptionForeColor
ForeColor
BackColor
BorderColor

The following code example demonstrates the same.

//MetroColor table for MessageBoxAdv
MetroStyleColorTable metroColorTable = new MetroStyleColorTable();
//Sets the NoButton backColor
metroColorTable.NoButtonBackColor = Color.Red;
//Sets the YesButton backColor
metroColorTable.YesButtonBackColor = Color.SkyBlue;
//Sets the OK button backcolor
metroColorTable.OKButtonBackColor = Color.Green;
//Applies the MetroStyleColorTable to MessageBoxAdv
MessageBoxAdv.MetroColorTable = metroColorTable;
//Sets the MessageBoxStyle as Metro
MessageBoxAdv.MessageBoxStyle = MessageBoxAdv.Style.Metro;

'MetroColor table for MessageBoxAdv
Dim metroColorTable As New MetroStyleColorTable()
'Sets the NoButton backColor
metroColorTable.NoButtonBackColor = Color.Red
'Sets the YesButton backColor
metroColorTable.YesButtonBackColor = Color.SkyBlue
'Sets the OK button backcolor
metroColorTable.OKButtonBackColor = Color.Green
'Applies the MetroStyleColorTable to MessageBoxAdv
MessageBoxAdv.MetroColorTable = metroColorTable
'Sets the MessageBoxStyle as Metro
MessageBoxAdv.MessageBoxStyle = MessageBoxAdv.Style.Metro
