Create the form with the appropriate controls, etc. Then add a static method to the class that handles all the messy bits - creating an instance (if necessary), setting properties, etc.

I wish I could write more on this, but it's pretty simple stuff. Just call MyCustomBox.ShowMessage() or whatever you call the static method.

You can add a static method to FormMessage class

public static void ShowBox(string message)
{
    using (FormMessage frm = new FormMessage())
    {
        frm.Message = message;
        frm.ShowDialog();
    }
}

And then

FormMessage.ShowBox("My Message");
