If you are referring to the Messagebox class, as far as I know it is not possible to alter the background colour without altering system-wide settings, which will alter the background colour of all windows.

However a Messagebox is simply a Dialog so design your own. You can then surface any properties that you like, allowing you to change almost anything.

There are plenty of article here on Code Project as well as on the web for creating your own Dialogs.

Extended MessageBox .NET Assembly
http://www.news2news.com/vfp/?solution=5

Adjusts on the fly wide variety of MessageBox visual settings.

Adjustable features include message font and color, button captions, fonts and tooltips, dialog background, dialog position, dialog icon, timeout and more. Depending on message font selected, the dialog window automatically resizes itself to accommodate the message.

Additional controls that can be optionally displayed: check box, text input, web link, up to 3 extra buttons.

In your .NET code you still call regular MessageBox.Show. Extended MessageBox is not a custom-made dialog. This is still regular MessageBox with extended features added.

OS supported: XP, 2000, 2003, 2008 Vista, Win7 -- 32 or 64-bit.

Downloads include fully-functional trial version, and regular version with complete C# source code.
