You can't really do it: Windows dialogs are no longer system wide except for UAE and suchlike system messages - and it was spectacularly rude to do it in the days when you could - since your box got the focus, so anything I was typing went there instead of to my app without me necessarily noticing...

But, you can "fake" it: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3999998/how-to-make-a-system-modal-dialog-in-c[^]

I can suggest 2 options to show a high priority message:
1. create custom MessageBox form, set TopMost = true and then use ShowDialog() method
2. display message in the notification area using NotifyIcon control

C#

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Form f = new Form();// object of the form
        f.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
        f.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;
        f.Opacity = 0.5;
        f.Load += new EventHandler(f_Load);
        f.Show();
    }

    void f_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("This is a modal window");
        ((Form)sender).Close();
    }        
}
