Text Won't Show in MessageBox
-
I'm trying to write a program (C# .NET 2003) for use in my school, and so far it works pretty good. The biggest problem I am having is that when I call MessageBox.Show(), no text shows up anywhere in the textbox, ncluding the title and OK button. This didn't use to occur, and then only on some computers, and now on every computer it is used on (including the design computer) My computers have all of the Microsoft Updates, so I figured uninstalling .NET Framework 2.0 might help, but it was no good. Here's my code if that helps:
MessageBox.Show(this, "MyStorage (C) 2006 IT Academy", "About MyStorage", System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxButtons.OK);MessageBox.Show("This should show something");Neither of those work. The message box shows, and is perfectly functional, there is just no text. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. I have to have this project finished by the end of this month, and this is my only real issue. Thanks a lot using System.People; Person me = new Person(); me.Certifications = null; me.Experience = little; me.WantsToLearn = true; me.InSchool = true; me.AskQuestions("C# .NET 2003"); -

Try this:
string message = "MyStorage (C) 2006 IT Academy";
string caption = "About MyStorage";
MessageBoxButtons buttons = MessageBoxButtons.OK;MessageBox.Show(this, message, caption, bttons);
Best, Jun
Hmm..... The title shows up now, but there is still no text for the message, and there is no text on the button... Thanks, though. I'll keep trying. using System.People; Person me = new Person(); me.Certifications = null; me.Experience = little; me.WantsToLearn = true; me.InSchool = true; me.AskQuestions("C# .NET 2003");

You got something funky happening and it ain't code.

Reformat the machine, if you have the time. :josh: My WPF Blog[^]

We've tried running it on some brand new computers, and it still doesn't work. I have a feeling that there's something wrong with my project settings or something. I'll keep looking. If anyone has any additional info, I'd really appreciate it.

Greetings: This happen`s on all your project`s or only on this one?. Try creating another project and try on that one
MessageBox.Show("test"), just to know if it`s something in your code or whith visual studio. "Failure is the best reason to start all over again with more knowledge" -Henry Ford -

MessageBox.Show("test"), just to know if it`s something in your code or whith visual studio. "Failure is the best reason to start all over again with more knowledge" -Henry FordThis happens on all projects, and on all machines with Visual Studio. Due to the previous "random" nature of whether or not it worked on seperate machines, I believe it has something to do with a Windows Update, because we push out updates here through WSUS. That would explain why some computer showed the text, and some didn't; and now none work. Soo.... anyone have any idea of any Windows or Microsoft Updates that would cause such a problem? using System.People; Person me = new Person(); me.Certifications = null; me.Experience = little; me.WantsToLearn = true; me.InSchool = true; me.AskQuestions("C# .NET 2003");

Greetings: That`s really strange, i have all of the windows updates, and never had this problem, i really dont know what could be the problem, one workaround could be to create another form in the application that serves as the message box, then you could just pass the text to display to it and show it, something like this:
//Assuming youre MessageBox form is called FormM
FormM temp=new FormM();
temp.setText("blabla","blabla");//A method you define for setting the text
temp.ShowDialog();//The method for defining the text. This method is inside FormM
public void setText(string x1,string x2)
{
this.Text=x2;
label1.Text=x1;//Assuming you´re using a label for the text
}hope that helps until you fix the problem:) "Failure is the best reason to start all over agin with more knowledge" -Henry Ford. -- modified at 17:16 Friday 7th July, 2006

Thanks a lot! That actually worked. It took us a whil;e to find the patch, but we managed to download and install Patch 11. We were only at patch level 1.
