![MessageBoxAdv in windows forms messagebox](MessageBoxAdv_images/MessageBoxAdv_img32.png)

This short guide helps you get a MessageBoxAdv dialog running quickly in a Windows Forms app, and points to more detailed topics (buttons, styling, localization, and advanced usage) elsewhere in this collection.

## Prerequisites

- A Windows Forms project in Visual Studio (targeting a compatible .NET runtime).
- Reference the Syncfusion assemblies or NuGet packages required for MessageBoxAdv (see the project or product installation docs). For a quick check, ensure you have `Syncfusion.Shared.Base.dll` or the equivalent NuGet package referenced in your project.

## Where to go next (concise references)

- Buttons and return values: see the focused reference in [Button Parameters](https://help.syncfusion.com/windowsforms/messagebox/button-parameters) for the available `MessageBoxButtons` combinations, examples, and images.
- Styling and themes: learn how to change the visual style and customize colors in [Styles Settings](https://help.syncfusion.com/windowsforms/messagebox/styles-settings).
- Localization: if your app needs translated button text or captions, follow the step-by-step guide in [Localization](https://help.syncfusion.com/windowsforms/messagebox/localization).
- Overview and advanced features: read [Overview](https://help.syncfusion.com/windowsforms/messagebox/overview) for feature highlights such as details view, resizing, icons, and RTL support.

## Tips and common tasks (brief)

- Displaying an icon: pass `MessageBoxIcon` to the `Show` call (see icon options in the Buttons doc).
- Details/extended text: MessageBoxAdv supports an optional details pane — see the Overview for illustrative usage.
- Resizing: enable `CanResize` if you want end-users to resize the dialog.

## Troubleshooting

- If `MessageBoxAdv` doesn't appear, confirm the Syncfusion assemblies/packages are referenced and that the correct `using Syncfusion.Windows.Forms;` (or `Imports`) line is included.
- For unexpected button captions or languages, check the localization provider setup described in [Localization](https://help.syncfusion.com/windowsforms/messagebox/localization).

## Summary

This page provides a concise quick start to get `MessageBoxAdv` displayed in your app and points you to the specialized pages in this folder for deeper examples and configuration.
