MessageBox

In a ScriptoForm, the Microsoft .NET MessageBox class displays a modal dialog box used to communicate a message to the user. For example, the ScriptoForm can use a MessageBox to notify the user that action has completed or that an error has occurred.

Examples

PowerShell

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
[System.Windows.Forms.Application]::EnableVisualStyles()

# Show informational icon
[void][System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show(
  "This is a test.",
  "Title",
  [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxButtons]::OK,
  [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxIcon]::Information
)

# Show warning icon
[void][System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show(
  "This is a test.",
  "Title",
  [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxButtons]::OK,
  [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxIcon]::Warning
)

Tip

Use the [System.Windows.Forms.Application]::EnableVisualStyles() function to enhance the appearance of the MessageBox

Notes

The System.Windows.Forms Assembly must be loaded prior to using a MessageBox.
