It's not clear to us what the problem is.

Please state what is not working and what the proper behavior you expect.

i have devoloped a custom MessageBox Class to use it in other application, as below

Code:

---

# public partial class MessageBoxCustomized : Window
#    {
# 
#        static MessageBoxResult _msgboxresult;
#        public MessageBoxCustomized()
#        {
#            InitializeComponent();
#            _msgboxresult = MessageBoxResult.None;
#            Owner = Application.Current.MainWindow;
# 
# 
#        }
# 
#        public void MessageBoxManager(MessageBoxButtonbutsta)
#        {
#            switch(butsta)
#            {
#                case MessageBoxButton.OK:
#                    agreeButt.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Collapsed;
#                    cancelButt.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Collapsed;
#                    disagreeButt.Content = "Ok";
#                    break;
# 
#                case MessageBoxButton.OKCancel:
#                    agreeButt.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Collapsed;
#                    midcol.Width = new GridLength(0);
#                    disagreeButt.Content = "Ok";
#                    break;
#                case MessageBoxButton.YesNo:
#                    cancelButt.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Collapsed;
#                    mbgnd.Width = new GridLength(0);
#                    break;
#            }
#        }
# 
#        public static void Show(string msg)
#        {
#            MessageBoxCustomized msgBox = new MessageBoxCustomized();
#            msgBox.msgTxt.Content = msg;
#            msgBox.MessageBoxManager(MessageBoxButton.OK);
#              System.Media.SystemSounds.Exclamation.Play();
#            msgBox.ShowDialog();
# 
#        }
# 
#        public static void Show(string msg, string title)
#        {
#            MessageBoxCustomized msgBox = new MessageBoxCustomized();
#            msgBox.msgTxt.Content = msg;
#            msgBox.Title = title;
#            msgBox.MessageBoxManager(MessageBoxButton.OK);
#              System.Media.SystemSounds.Exclamation.Play();
#            msgBox.ShowDialog();
# 
#        }
# 
#        public static MessageBoxResult Show(string msg, string title, MessageBoxButton butsta)
#        {
#            MessageBoxCustomized msgBox = new MessageBoxCustomized();
#            msgBox.msgTxt.Content = msg;
#            msgBox.Title = title;
#            msgBox.MessageBoxManager(butsta);
#            System.Media.SystemSounds.Exclamation.Play();
#            msgBox.ShowDialog();
# 
#            return _msgboxresult;
#        }
# 
# 
# 
#        private void agreeButt_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
#        {
#          _msgboxresult=MessageBoxResult.Yes;
#          Close();
#        }
# 
#        private void disagreeButtutt_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
#        {
#            if ((string)disagreeButt.Content == "Ok")
#              _msgboxresult=MessageBoxResult.OK;
#          else
#              _msgboxresult=MessageBoxResult.No;
#          Close();
# 
#        }
# 
#        private void cancelButt_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
#        {
#          _msgboxresult=MessageBoxResult.Cancel;
#        }
# 
#        private void Activate_Title_Icons(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
#        {
#            Close_btn.Fill = (Brush)App.Current.Resources["Close_act"];
#        }
# 
#        private void Deactivate_Title_Icons(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
#        {
#            Close_btn.Fill = (Brush)App.Current.Resources["Close_inact"];
#        }
# 
#        private void Close_pressing(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
#        {
#            Close_btn.Fill = (Brush)App.Current.Resources["Close_pr"];
#        }
# 
#        private void EXIT(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
#        {
#            this.Close();// Environment.Exit(0);
#        }
# 
#        private void titLab_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
#        {
#            if (e.LeftButton == MouseButtonState.Pressed)
#                this.DragMove();
#        }
# 
#        private void msgboxMainWnd_Unloaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
#        {
# 
#        }
# 
#        }

and i made the application which will use it
and it work fine except in one place and it's Window_Closing handler, here's a snapshot of my code

Code:

---

# private void Window_Closing(object sender, System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
# {
# 
# if (savingRequest == true)
# {
#            //The problem is here in the statement below 
# switch (MessageBoxCustomized.Show("Save Changes", "Attention", MessageBoxButton.YesNoCancel))
# {
# case MessageBoxResult.Yes:
# {
# notifyIcon.Dispose();
# SaveTreeView();
# }
# break;
# 
# case MessageBoxResult.No: notifyIcon.Dispose();
# break;
# 
# case MessageBoxResult.Cancel:e.Cancel = true;
# 
# break;
# 
# }
# }

If i replce the custom MessageBox with the standard windows MessageBox object it works fine as i want but when i use my custom message box object the compiler skip all the code from the statement

switch(MessageBoxCustomized.Show("SaveChanges","Attention",MessageBoxButton.YesNoCancel))

and terminate the application and i don't know why and

Step through the code and debug it.

But first, change your code temporarily so you can see what the Show() method returns.

rather than

Code:

---

switch( MessageBoxCustomized.Show("SaveChanges","Attention",MessageBoxButton.YesNoCancel))

---

write

Code:

---

var dlgResult = MessageBoxCustomized.Show("SaveChanges","Attention",MessageBoxButton.YesNoCancel);

switch( dlgResult )
{
...
}

---

One problem I see is that your static Show( ) method doesn't return anything. I'm surprise your code compiles. It should return a DialogResult enum.

i had stepped my code as u suggested and i made a break at the Fn
public static MessageBoxResult Show(string msg, string title, MessageBoxButton butsta)
if i made butsta=YesNo then every thing is fine and it work,but if i made butsta=YesNoCancel the step work fine untill reach the statement
msgBox.ShowDialog();
it execute it but doesn't show the dialog and immediately go to the next statement

return _msgboxresult; //the default value for _msgboxresult is None

then

the value for dlgResult was "None"

Hey guys
i'm fraud about the problem by canceling window closing event handler and created a new fun called Terminate and created a custom command "Exit" and call the Terminate fun from within it

Code:

---

void exitCmdBinding_Executed(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
        {

            Terminate();
         
        }

---

Terminate Fn

Code:

---

/// <summary>
        /// Fn to confirm the user if data saving required befor closing the application
        /// </summary>
        private void Terminate(/*System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs ee*/)
        {
            if (savingRequest == true)
                switch (MessageBoxCustomized.Show("Do you want to save changes", "Saving Attention", MessageBoxButton.YesNoCancel))
                {
                    case MessageBoxResult.Yes:
                     
                            notifyIcon.Dispose();
                            SaveTreeView();
                            Application.Current.Shutdown();
                            break;

                    case MessageBoxResult.No:
                        notifyIcon.Dispose();
                        Application.Current.Shutdown();
                        break;

                    case MessageBoxResult.Cancel:
                        //  ee.Cancel = true;
                        break;

                }
            else //if no saving required
            {
                switch (MessageBoxCustomized.Show("Are you Sure to exit ?", "Exit Application", MessageBoxButton.YesNo))
                {
                    case MessageBoxResult.Yes: Application.Current.Shutdown(); break;
                    case MessageBoxResult.No: break;
                }
            }
        }

and it works perfect but i want to know why "The MessgeBoxCustomized window doesn't work only in window closing event handler" is there any technical problem!

Hey people i have found the answer why "The MessgeBoxCustomized window doesn't work only in window closing event handler" in stackoverflow forum and here's the context literal

"The Closing event cannot be canceled if you call Application.Current.Shutdown(). Just call the Window.Close() method instead, which will give you a chance to veto the close operation. Once all your program's windows have closed the application will shutdown automatically."

and i was using Application.Current.Shutdown() to exit my application and when i used mainWnd.Close(); since my main window name is "mainWnd" then every thing is working fine thanks for all of you
