I think I saw something in your documentation indicating that the MessageBox could be set to expire after a certain amount of time, making the default button the one "chosen". But I can't find anything about that now. Is that a feature or not & if so where to find out about it in the documentation. Thanks.
XtraMessageBox - Auto-Close feature

I believe you're looking for the Auto-Close Message Boxes documentation:
The Show(XtraMessageBoxArgs args) method overload allows you to show a message box that closes automatically. The method parameter is the XtraMessageBoxArgs class object and provides the AutoCloseOptions.Delay property that allows you to set the auto-close timeout (in milliseconds).

Brendon, I'm getting an error using the sample code in the documentation for "Auto Close" boxes. The code is:
Visual BasicDim args As New XtraMessageBoxArgs()
args.AutoCloseOptions.Delay = 5000
args.AutoCloseOptions.ShowTimerOnDefaultButton = True
args.DefaultButtonIndex = 0
args.Caption = "Auto-close message"
args.Text = "This message closes automatically after 5 seconds."
args.Buttons = New DialogResult() { DialogResult.OK, DialogResult.Cancel}
XtraMessageBox.Show(args).ToString()
The second and third lines show error - "AutoCloseOptions is not a member of XtraMessageBoxArgs" . Result, it won't run on my system. What now?
The Auto Close XtraMessageBox wasn't indtroduced until version 18.1.3. You would need to either update to this version, or you can use this solution from the DevExpress GitHub: how-to-create-a-custom-xtramessagebox-with-the-extended-functionality-t229906
