Checking to see if a message box has displayed

How would one go about checking to see if a message box is currently being displayed?

What are you trying to do, need a bit more detail.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but you could use this to determine if the messagebox you opened earlier had its "ok" clicked or whether it was closed or what.

        Dim bla As New MsgBoxResult
        bla = MsgBox("poop")
 
 
        If bla = MsgBoxResult.Ok Then
         'ok was clicked on messagebox
        End If

Have you tried passing the Form object, which can be referenced using the 'Me' keyword, as the IWin32Window owner and checking if it would then be exposed via the 'OpenForms' property?

Another alternative after setting the owner would be to try and access handles via the calling Form properties that are associated with this instance, thereby you could define if any of the windows are your messagebox by conditional means (ie. matching elements such as title bar text).

Alternatively, you could just try compiling and running and looking to see if it is being displayed?
