To start, I am not a coder, I focus on the physical aspect of Xbox 360's. I am looking into making an xMessage ui plugin that pops up when the system boots.

I was looking into this forum and it seems to have the code to use but I might as well be trying to read a foreign language here.

Code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Threading;
using XDevkit;
using JRPC_Client;

namespace XUtilities
{
    public enum XMessageBoxIcons
    {
        XBM_NOICON,
        XMB_ERRORICON,
        XMB_WARNINGICON,
        XMB_ALERTICON
    }
    public class XMessageBoxUIProgress : EventArgs
    {
        public uint Result { get; private set; }
        public uint Code { get; private set; }

        private XMessageBoxUIProgress() { }

        public XMessageBoxUIProgress(uint result, uint code)
        {
            Result = result;
            Code = code;
        }
    }
    public class ActiveXMessageBoxes
    {
        public uint Size;
        public byte[] XOverlappedBytes;
        public ActiveXMessageBoxes(uint size, byte[] xOverlappedBytes)
        {

Thanks to anyone who can explain or help me out here.

So if you aren't a coder why don't you leave this to an actual coder then? This code is written in c#, do you need c#? The code itself provides a way to show a MessageBox, it doesn't actually show the MessageBox itself in the code.

It works like this:
var messageBox = new XMessageBoxUI( IXboxConsole, "Title", "Message", Buttons, .. )
messageBox.Show();

This is what you need to do to use the code and show a MessageBox.

However the reason I ask if you require c# is because most of the code concentrates on converting the managed data types into the Xbox (primitive) data types.

This code is causing me eye-bleach. If you can do it without C# just look up the documentation for `XShowMessageBoxUI`

Like I stated I have no knowledge of coding for Xbox. I just want to make a plugin that pops and xmessage with a thank you note and easy instructions on RGH's that I sell. I want it to be as simple as possible.
