WPFCustomMessageBox
=====================
*WPFCustomMessageBox* is a WPF clone of the native Windows/.NET MessageBox with extra features like custom button text.
I created this library because I wanted to use verbs for my MessageBox buttons to [help users better understand the functionality of the buttons](http://ux.stackexchange.com/a/9960/12349) - which isn't possible in the standard Windows MessageBox. With this library, you can offer your users button descriptions like `Save/Don't Save` or `Shutdown Reactor/Eject Spent Fuel Rods` rather than the standard `OK/Cancel` or `Yes/No` (although you can still use those too, if you like).
The WPFCustomMessageBox message boxes return [standard .NET MessageBoxResults](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.messageboxresult%28v=vs.100%29.aspx).
## Downloading and Installing ##
[WPFCustomMessageBox is available via NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/packages/WPFCustomMessageBox/).
## Usage ##
This documentation is still in progress, so in the meantime you can explore the `CustomMessageBoxDemo` project which should have a variety of demos.
WPFCustomMessageBox uses static methods just like the standard .NET MessageBox, so you can plug-and-play the new library without modifying any code. When you want to add custom text, just use the special methods outlined below.
**Standard .NET Message Box**
```csharp
MessageBox.Show("Hello World!", "This is the title of the MessageBox", MessageBoxButton.OKCancel);
```
**WPFCustomMessageBox Equivalent**
```csharp
using WPFCustomMessageBox;
CustomMessageBox.Show("Hello World!", "This is the title of the MessageBox", MessageBoxButton.OKCancel);
```
**Adding custom button text to WPFCustomMessageBox**
```csharp
using WPFCustomMessageBox;
CustomMessageBox.ShowOKCancel(
"Are you sure you want to eject the nuclear fuel rods?",
"Confirm Fuel Ejection",
"Eject Fuel Rods",
"Don't do it!");
```
**Custom Button Methods**
The WPFCustomMessageBox library provides customizable equivalents of all .NET MessageBox button types:
* `CustomMessageBox.Show()` - Standard MessageBox
* `CustomMessageBox.ShowOK()` - MessageBox with single customizable "OK" button. Returns `MessageBoxResult.OK`.
* `CustomMessageBox.ShowOKCancel()` - MessageBox with customizable "OK" and "Cancel" buttons. Returns either `MessageBoxResult.OK` or `MessageBoxResult.Cancel`.
* `CustomMessageBox.ShowYesNo()` - MessageBox with customizable "Yes" and "No" buttons. Returns either `MessageBoxResult.Yes` or `MessageBoxResult.No`.
* `CustomMessageBox.ShowYesNoCancel()` - MessageBox with customizable "Yes", "No", and "Cancel" buttons. Returns either `MessageBoxResult.Yes`, `MessageBoxResult.No`, or `MessageBoxResult.Cancel`.
## Todo ##
* i18n support (especially for languages that read right-to-left)
