I'm not exactly sure I got your question, but I know Craig Boyd has a very interesting hook (See http://www.sweetpotatosoftware.com/SPSBlog/PermaLink,guid,f7644db8-b155-4d43-8216-4cfde233edb7.aspx )

For my purpose I use my own Statistics form as a messagebox replacement when I need Print functionality and ability to scroll long messages. I have it in the Downloads section here.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
