Running the following from a WinForms

System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("A", "B");

The first paramter “A” is the body and “B” appears as the title.

Show is an overloaded method – VS IDE shows 21 overloads but the option with 2 parameters is

Show(IWin32Window owner,string text)

I don’t understand how IWin32Window owner relates to “A” above … or is there an implicit interpretation of the parameters supplied?
