Hi all,
I have a MessageBox (.NET 2.0) that shows to the users a list o codes that
missing from a loaded file and an internal mapper.
In case that these codes are a lot, the MessageBox grows so much that does
not fit in the screen and the user can not see some codes.
How can I permit to Copy&Paste from this MessageBox, or shows data more
friendly?

Thanks in advance.
 
Simply not using MessageBox. Make your own form, place a textbox with
multiline and scroll enabled.

As far as the copy & paste question goes, all standard* Windows message
boxes (not just .NET's version) support this natively since at least Windows
2000, so you only need to hit Ctrl+C. However, from a usability standpoint,
it sounds like you should be supplying your own form.


*By which I mean anything ultimately invoked via the MessageBox() API
function.
