How to create a custom MessageBox?

Viewed 78232

I'm trying to make a custom message box with my controls.

public static partial class Msg : Form
{
    public static void show(string content, string description)
    {

    }
}

Actually I need to place some controls (a gridview) in this form and I have to apply my own theme for this window, so I don't want to use MessageBox. I want to call this from my other forms like

Msg.show(parameters);

I don't wish to create an object for this form.

I know I can't inherit from Form class because it isn't static. But I wonder how MessageBox is implemented, because it is static. It is being called like MessageBox.show("Some message!");

Now I'm getting an error because inheritance is not allowed:

Static class 'MyFormName' cannot derive from type 'System.Windows.Forms.Form'. Static classes must derive from object

Screenshot of my form

How MessageBox is implemented then?
