## Usage

Use the `AutoClosingMessageBox.Show` method either as follows: 

```
// Fire and forget - it about to be closed after default timeout(1000ms)
AutoClosingMessageBox.Show("Hello, World!");
```

or follows:

```
// Wait for some result or make the default decision
var result = AutoClosingMessageBox.Show(
                text: "To be or not to be?", 
                caption: "The question",
                timeout: 2500,
                buttons: MessageBoxButtons.YesNo,
                defaultResult: DialogResult.Yes);
if(result == DialogResult.Yes) {
    // to be
}
else { 
    // or not
}
```

You can also use the `AutoClosingMessageBox.Factory` method to get full control on MessageBox showing (for example, use icons):

```
var toBeOrNotToBeQuestion = AutoClosingMessageBox.Factory(
            showMethod: (caption, buttons) =>
                MessageBox.Show(this, "To be or not to be?", caption, buttons, MessageBoxIcon.Question),
            caption: "The question"
        );
if(DialogResult.Yes == toBeOrNotToBeQuestion.Show(
                                timeout: 2500,
                                buttons: MessageBoxButtons.YesNo,
                                defaultResult: DialogResult.Yes)) {
    // to be
}
else {
    // or not
}

```

Since v1.0.0.3 you can also use the CountDown feature:

```
AutoClosingMessageBox.Show("Hello, World!", timeout: 5000, showCountDown: true);
```

or in Factory-manner:

```
var messageBoxWithQuestionIcon = AutoClosingMessageBox.Factory(
        showMethod: (caption, buttons) =>
            MessageBox.Show(this, "To be or not to be?", caption, buttons, MessageBoxIcon.Question),
        caption: "The question",
        showCountDown: true // CountDown feature activation
    );
messageBoxWithQuestionIcon.Show();
```
