Hi I'm trying to create a custom messagebox.
But if one double click on the text (I'm using a label) the text of the label is copied to the clipboard.

I googled and found this:

private class SingleClickLabel : Label
    {
        protected override CreateParams CreateParams
        {
            get
            {
                new SecurityPermission(SecurityPermissionFlag.UnmanagedCode).Demand();

                CreateParams cp = base.CreateParams;
                cp.ClassStyle &= ~0x0008;
                cp.ClassName = null;

                return cp;
            }
        }
    }

But I have no idea on how to use that class, and there fore I hope that some here can guide me to use it correct.

What I have tried:

googled to see how to use the code.

Don't waste time copying code from Google, especially if you don't understand it. Take a step back and show us the code that you have written, and explain where the problem is.

That's why I asked my question, to learn how to use the code, If I don't ask I don't learn, though most often I can find the answer to my questions using google, and that's the way I prefer to it, I hate to ask questions - course that means that I failed to find the answer on my own :(.

All I current have is a simple WinForm, that looks like a messagebox.
It's build over code examples found by googleing, I could had created it from scratch, but I saw no reason to recreate the wheel :).

My problem, is/was that that if I double clicked the label I use to display the message, the message is copied to the clipboard, and I wanted to prevent that.

That class just creates a new control. Once you add that class to your project and compile it, the control will show up in the ToolBox when you go the designer for your form.

Sry, C# is new to me.
I don't understand, you answer :(.
I have added the class to my project form code (not design code).

I figured it out, I just added the code to the design code, and changed my label to SingleClickLabel.

Though, I would had preferred to add it to the Toolbox, so I could use it in other projects without copying the code to the designer, but I guess I figure out how to that at some point in the future.

You create a separate Control project to make a reusable control. Replace class that comes in the project with the class you have and compile it. That's pretty much it.
