Messagebox with input field [duplicate]

Is it possible to show (pop-up) a message box with an input field in it, possibly a text box? Is somewhere in the language or the framework?


You can reference Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll.

Then using the code below.

Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.InputBox("Question?","Title","Default Text");

Alternatively, by adding a using directive allowing for a shorter syntax in your code (which I'd personally prefer).

using Microsoft.VisualBasic;
...
Interaction.InputBox("Question?","Title","Default Text");

Or you can do what Pranay Rana suggests, that's what I would've done too...


You can do it by making form and displaying it using ShowDialogBox....

Form.ShowDialog Method - Shows the form as a modal dialog box.

Example:

public void ShowMyDialogBox()
{
   Form2 testDialog = new Form2();

   // Show testDialog as a modal dialog and determine if DialogResult = OK.
   if (testDialog.ShowDialog(this) == DialogResult.OK)
   {
      // Read the contents of testDialog's TextBox.
      this.txtResult.Text = testDialog.TextBox1.Text;
   }
   else
   {
      this.txtResult.Text = "Cancelled";
   }
   testDialog.Dispose();
}
