C# WPF Tutorial – MessageBoxButton

A WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) MessageBoxButton is an enumeration that specifies the buttons that are displayed in a message box. The possible values for a MessageBoxButton are:

• OK
• OKCancel
• YesNo
• YesNoCancel

These values are used as the parameter for the MessageBoxButton property of the MessageBox class, which determines which buttons are displayed in the message box.

For example, if you set the MessageBoxButton property to YesNo, the message box will display “Yes” and “No” buttons. The user’s response to the message box can be retrieved using the MessageBoxResult property, which returns a value indicating which button the user clicked.

This allows you to take appropriate action based on the user’s response. For example, if the user clicks “Yes”, you could save the changes they made, and if they click “No”, you could discard the changes.

Here is an example of how to use the MessageBoxButton property in WPF code:

// Open a message box with "Yes" and "No" buttons
MessageBoxResult result = MessageBox.Show("Do you want to save your changes?", "Save Changes", MessageBoxButton.YesNo);

// Check the user's response and take appropriate action
if (result == MessageBoxResult.Yes)
{
    // Save the changes
    // ...
}
else if (result == MessageBoxResult.No)
{
    // Discard the changes
    // ...
}
