RadMessageBox with SVG icon

[Toby]

Is it possible to assign an SVG image to use as the image displayed in the RadMessageBox? 

 

I notice that PictureBox is used rather than RadPictureBox, RadPictureBox supports SVG and it seems that PictureBox does not. Is there a reason why it cannot use RadPictrureBox?

The reason I ask, is that when specifying the image directly, it does not scale nicely when used on monitors with different DPI.

Thanks

Hi Toby,

Thank you for the provided image.

By design, the MS PictureBox control is used to show the image in the RadMessageBox control. You can still show an SVG image in the MS PictureBox control. To do that, you can use the following code:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
	
    RadMessageBox.Instance.Shown += Instance_Shown;
    DialogResult ds = RadMessageBox.Show(this, "Are you sure?", "Title", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, RadMessageIcon.Question);
    this.Text = ds.ToString();
}

private void Instance_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var radMessageBoxForm = sender as RadMessageBoxForm;
    (radMessageBoxForm.Controls["pictureBox1"] as PictureBox).Image = LoadSvgAsBitmap("../../MySvgImage.Svg");
}

private Bitmap LoadSvgAsBitmap(string filePath)
{
    // Load the SVG file
    Telerik.WinControls.Svg.SvgDocument svgDocument = Telerik.WinControls.Svg.SvgDocument.Open(filePath);

    // Render the SVG to a Bitmap
    Bitmap bitmap = svgDocument.Draw();

    return bitmap;
}

I hope that this approach will work for you.

Sounds like a good solution - with Telerik components there is usually a good solution!  Iwill adapt slightly as I already have the SVG stored as a project resource.

Thanks
