MessageBox.Show and MessageBoxButtons.OK question   
If I specify most combinations of available buttons in
MessageBox.Show, I get nice large and finger-friendly buttons
underneath my message. If I just specify MessageBoxButtons.OK, then
the OK button appears in the top right corner of the MessageBox in a
decidedly un-finger-friendly fashion. Is there anything I can do to
make OK appear in the same way as it does for OKCancel?

Thanks

Re: MessageBox.Show and MessageBoxButtons.OK question   
This is the native API behaviour. You'll either need to use a box with more 
than one option to show the proper buttons, or write your own custom dialog. 
I built a Windows Mobile specific replacement in the Mobile In The Hand 
suite (http://inthehand.com/content/Mobile.aspx) - Which uses the soft-keys 
(like the standard Smartphone MessageBox -
