Answer 2

Create your own pop up window:

public class MyStylishPopUp : Form
{
    ...
}

and call it with:

var m = new MyStylishPopUp();
m.ShowDialog();

Answer 3

I'd say just create another Windows Form (lets call it StylishForm) and call this form inside the main/starting form by doing something like this:

StylishForm stylishPopUp = new StylishForm(); // where StylishForm = public partial class StylishForm : Form
DialogResult resultOfStylishPopup = stylishPopUp.ShowDialog();
if (resultOfStylishPopup == DialogResult.OK)
{
// Do what you wanna do here
}

The advantage here is - you can do anything on this StylishForm and show any number of controls/text and on the buttons (if you have) you can set the DialogResult to what you want (in this case you are looking for DialogResult.OK so set that just before closing the form and you will receive it here)
