OSX Style message box for .net

I'm trying to figure out how to create a OSX(Apple) style MessageBox where it drops down from the top. I have played around with making a custom dialog box and kind of got it to work. I had some issues with getting it to center correctly on the form but that is minor. I also tried making a custom control that would attach it self to the top of the main form but because it was on the same thread as the main thread I could not use a function similar to ShowDialog where the only thing active would be the dialog.

Any suggestions as to how I could proceed would be greatly appreciated.

Example of what I am trying to do
