Most Windows applications request for user input. Dialog boxes are one means of requesting users for specific kinds of inputs. Therefore, VB.NET allows its designers to create a number of different types of dialog boxes. Standard Dialog boxes are included in classes that fall within the purview of the CommonDialog.

1. FileDialog
2. ColorDialog
3. FontDialog
4. PageSetupDialot
5. PrintDialog

Public Class CustomDialog
        Private Sub CustomDialog_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
            Me.AcceptButton = Button1
            Me.CancelButton = Button2
            Me.TextBox1.Text = ""
        End Sub
        Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
            Me.DialogResult = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK
            Me.Close()
        End Sub
        Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
            Me.Close()
        End Sub
    End Class

In a new project which already has a form Form1, add another form and name it as FixeDialog.
Set the Text property of this form as “Add Text”.
Add a label control, a text box control and two command buttons.
Change the text property of the label to “Enter Your Text!” and name the first button OK and the other as Cancel.
In the property sheet of the form set the FormBorderStyle property to FixedDialog
Set the ControlBox property as false. This is done to remove minimize, maximize and close buttons.

Public Class Form1
        Dim DialogBox As New CustomDialog()
        Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        End Sub
        Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
            If DialogBox.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
                Me.Label1.Text = DialogBox.TextBox1.Text
            End If
        End Sub
        Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
            Me.Close()
        End Sub
    End Class

Create a new Visual Basic Windows Applications project in the Visual Studio IDE . To the form Form1 add a ColorDialogBox. Add two Buttons and name them

Now in the code behind form add the following codes:

Public Class Form1 
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click 
Me.ColorDialog1.ShowDialog() 
Label1.ForeColor = Me.ColorDialog1.Color 
End Sub 
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click 
Me.Close() 
End Sub 
End Class
