Not sure how your ShowMsg and ShowMessage methods look like, but try this out:

msgBox = new MsgBox();
if (msgBox.InvokeRequired)
{
  msgBox.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate() { ShowMessage(); });
}
else
{
  ShowMessage();
}

How do you call ShowDialog? You have to pass the main window (or any of its children) to the ShowDialog method, so it has a proper parent window.

Are you using threads?

If your threads you have to invoke the parent form, not the msgbox itself.

Form frm = new Form();
if (parent.InvokeRequired)
{
    parent.Invoke(new ThreadStart(() =>
        {
            frm.ShowDialog();
        }));
}
else
{
    frm.ShowDialog();
}

If your working without threads just remove the invoke and explain a little what ShowMessage und msgbox do.

What a mess in here!!

is MsgBox your custom type derived from Form class? if so, you can simply call its ShowDialog method to have it displayed modally.

If you can't, please share the content of the ShowMessage method.
