Well The alternate option is good for communicating information via custom message box but 'look and feel' of default message box is dependent of OS on which application is running. That's why I'm looking for this to use. In case of custom message box I've to design separate message box(s) for application running of Win XP and Win 7 (for example). Thanks for time.

Hi You can't customize the messagebox. The out of box has to be implemented in custom control. You can see and download the custom messagebox. http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/19711/Creating-A-Custom-Message-Box-Part-2 http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/17253/A-Custom-Message-Box

It's not possible to customize the default MessageBox in any way as it's just a simple wrapper for the MessageBox API function: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms645505(v=vs.85).aspx If you need to add a LinkLabel then you'll have to write a MessageBox 'look-alike' from scratch.
