XtraDialog Class

A message box that can display any control (e.g., a UserControl) in its client area.

Assembly : DevExpress.XtraEditors.v25.2.dll

NuGet Package : DevExpress.Win.Navigation

Declaration

C#
VB.NET

csharp

public static class XtraDialog

Public Module XtraDialog

Remarks

To display a dialog, call the static XtraDialog.Show method. Method parameters allow you to specify a control to be displayed in its client area, provide the dialog’s caption and add predefined buttons.

To learn how to customize the dialog’s buttons, see the XtraDialog.Show(DevExpress.XtraEditors.XtraDialogArgs) topic.

The following code invokes an XtraDialog displaying a UserControl with custom controls (two TextEdit controls and one CheckEdit control), and the OK and Cancel buttons.
