There is no just "in VB.NET". Please, your application type, UI library/framework you are using.

Each form will need to open the messagebox when required, so when it returns "yes", the form can close itself.

You can Create a highly Custom Message box using a Custom User Control in VB.NET. You just have to create the message user interface and have to create a

VB

(ByVal Message as String, ByVal MessageTitle as String) as String

on the Control's Load code part.

You could build up a kind of Dialog.
This is a Form, which is created as you want and which also content the design as you want. With the Buttons you set the value of DialogResult for which you ask in your calling Form.

This could be build up like this :

Script-Parts of the Dialog-Form :

VB

Public Class Dialog_mySelection
    Inherits Form

    Private Sub Button_Abort_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button_Abort.Click

        Me.DialogResult = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Cancel
        Me.Close()
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button_OK_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button_OK.Click

        Me.DialogResult = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK
        Me.Close()
    End Sub

end class

Script-Parts inside the calling Form :

VB

Dim myDialog As New Dialog_mySelection
myDialog.ShowDialog()

If myDialog.DialogResult = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
    ' do what is nescessary to do
ElseIf myDialog.DialogResult = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Cancel Then
    ' do what is nescessary to do
End If
