Why not just Print your message on a new Form and Show it modally when
you need it? Another option is to Print your message on a normally
Visible=False PictureBox and display (using Visible = True) that when
needed (remember to "Format/Order/Bring To Front" during design time or
use ZOrder during run time if it is not going to be the last component
you add to that Form); although that would leave controls on your form
"active", so you might want to Enable=False them during the display of
the PictureBox and Enable=True them when it is removed. In both cases,
you would use a Timer control to handle displaying the message for
however long you wanted.
