Check out the following link for a good example. It's in VB.NET but you can easily convert it to C#. <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/234774/custom-button-captions-in-net-messagebox/235497#235497" rel="nofollow">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/234774/custom-button-captions-in-net-messagebox/235497#235497</a> Personally, I would prefer to create my own custom dialog because I would have full control over its display properties. Below are two good examples: <a href="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/Vsexpressvcs/thread/e3eff8b6-dc23-46d2-8109-564f51cf786a/" rel="nofollow">http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/Vsexpressvcs/thread/e3eff8b6-dc23-46d2-8109-564f51cf786a/</a> <a href="http://dotnetperls.com/customized-dialog-windows" rel="nofollow">http://dotnetperls.com/customized-dialog-windows</a> Cheers Dave Hi Janet,

For instance, instead of Yes/No, I would like the button text to be "Continue" and "Cancel". I can write a custom form but that mean it won't look like native on both Windows XP and Vista. Any tips?
