How do I create a message box with "Yes", "No" choices and a DialogResult?

Question

I want to make simple Yes/No choiced MessageBox, but I think it is nonsense to design a form for that. I thought I could use MessageBox, add buttons, etc. to accomplish this. It is simple, but since there is no DialogResult returned, how do I retrieve the result?

Answer 1

This should do it:

DialogResult dialogResult = MessageBox.Show("Sure", "Some Title", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo);
if(dialogResult == DialogResult.Yes)
{
    //do something
}
else if (dialogResult == DialogResult.No)
{
    //do something else
}

The answer was for Windows, not Windows Phone which I don't know much about :) – Ozmo

'DialogResult' does not work in wpf. You have to use 'MessageBoxResult'. – Information

@jean Docs has MessageBoxButtons learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/… – Ozmo

Answer 2

DialogResult dr = MessageBox.Show("Are you happy now?", 
                      "Mood Test", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo);
switch(dr)
{
   case DialogResult.Yes:
      break;
   case DialogResult.No:
      break;
}

MessageBox class is what you are looking for.

Answer 3

MessageBox.Show(title, text, messageboxbuttons.yes/no)

This returns a DialogResult which you can check.

For example,

if(MessageBox.Show("","",MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) == DialogResult.Yes)
{
   //do something
}

The MessageBox does produce a DialogResults

DialogResult r = MessageBox.Show("Some question here");

You can also specify the buttons easily enough. More documentation can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ba2a6d06.aspx

Answer 5

Use:

MessageBoxResult m = MessageBox.Show("The file will be saved here.", "File Save", MessageBoxButton.OKCancel);
if(m == m.Yes)
{
    // Do something
}
else if (m == m.No)
{
    // Do something else
}

MessageBoxResult is used on Windows Phone instead of DialogResult...

You can also use this variant with text strings, here's the complete changed code (Code from Mikael), tested in C# 2012:

// Variable
string MessageBoxTitle = "Some Title";
string MessageBoxContent = "Sure";

DialogResult dialogResult = MessageBox.Show(MessageBoxContent, MessageBoxTitle, MessageBoxButtons.YesNo);
if(dialogResult == DialogResult.Yes)
{
    //do something
}
else if (dialogResult == DialogResult.No)
{
    //do something else
}

You can after

.YesNo

insert a message icon

, MessageBoxIcon.Question

Answer 7

@Mikael Svenson's answer is correct. I just wanted to add a small addition to it:

The Messagebox icon can also be included has an additional property like below:

DialogResult dialogResult = MessageBox.Show("Sure", "Please Confirm Your Action", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question);

Hitherto

Answer 8

if (MessageBox.Show("Please confirm before proceed" + "\n" + "Do you want to Continue ?", "Confirm", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question) == DialogResult.Yes)

{
//do something if YES
}

else

{
//do something if NO
}

Try this:

if (MessageBox.Show("Are you sure", "Title_here", MessageBoxButton.YesNo) == MessageBoxResult.Yes)
{
    Do something here for 'Yes'...
}

This simple code worked for me. I grabbed it from MSDN here:

if (System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show
            ("Are you sure you want to add the audit?", "Add",
            System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, 
            System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxIcon.Question)
            ==System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes)                
        // Do stuff after 'YES is clicked'
        else
        // DO stuff after 'NO is clicked'
