I'm trying to create something similar to MessageBox.Show(), where I have to press the button okay or close the MessageBox to continue. Not a good explainer but this will get you the idea.

int a = 0;
MessageBox.Show("int a ( will set to 1 after pressin/closing the MessageBox)");
a = 1;

What I have tried:

Couldn't find anything to try.

Solution 1

Try:

C#

MyFormToDisplay form = new MyFormTopDisplay();
form.Message = "Hello - this will not continue until you close me";
if (form.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
   {
   // OK pressed
   ...
   }

Solution 2

~~Thanks this would solve it~~, But I'm also curious about how you made a stop in

if (form.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)

Like similar to the Console.ReadLine() in a ConsoleApplication, I have a feeling this would help me alot later

EDIT: this worked in WPF on a new project, but when I include System.Windows.Forms in my main one, I get this error

CS0176	Member 'HorizontalAlignment.Left' cannot be accessed with an instance reference; qualify it with a type name instead

Is there an other way of doing this?
