Using Onyx (disclaimer, I’m the author) this is as easy as: public void Foo() { IDisplayMessage dm = this.View.GetService<IDisplayMessage>(); dm.Show(“Hello, world!”); } In a running application, this will indirectly call MessageBox.Show(“Hello, world!”). When testing, the IDisplayMessage service can be mocked and provided to the ViewModel to do what ever you want … Read more
A message box pumps a message loop. That’s something you can take advantage of, it allows you to inject code with Control.BeginInvoke() that runs as soon as the message box appears.

First of all, DOS has nothing to do with it, you probably want a Windows command line solution (again: no DOS, pure Windows, just not a Window, but a Console). You can either use the VBScript method provided by boflynn or you can mis-use net send or msg. net send works only on older versions … Read more
Try the following approach: AutoClosingMessageBox.Show(“Text”, “Caption”, 1000); Where the AutoClosingMessageBox class implemented as following: public class AutoClosingMessageBox { System.Threading.Timer _timeoutTimer; string _caption; AutoClosingMessageBox(string text, string caption, int timeout) { _caption = caption; _timeoutTimer = new System.Threading.Timer(OnTimerElapsed, null, timeout, System.Threading.Timeout.Infinite); using(_timeoutTimer) MessageBox.Show(text, caption); } public static void Show(string text, string caption, int timeout) { new AutoClosingMessageBox(text, … Read more
It is possible with some servings of P/Invoke and the magic provided by Control.BeginInvoke(). Add a new class to your project and paste this code: using System; using System.Text; using System.Drawing; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; class CenterWinDialog : IDisposable { private int mTries = 0; private Form mOwner; public CenterWinDialog(Form owner) { mOwner = owner; … Read more
