PopupAlert allows you to display popup alerts similar to those used in Microsoft® Windows Messenger and Office 2003, using a variety of different styles.
Two components are included in the library, a class and a control. You can use the class, PopupAlert, if you wish to display events from within an object which doesn't support controls, such as another class. The control, PopupAlertCtl, is simply a wrapper for PopupAlert which includes design time support and can be easily dropped onto a form, without having to create a reference to the core class.
