<div class="markdown level1 summary"><p>Displays an input box in response to the VBScript <code>InputBox()</code> function.
The default implementation throws <a class="xref" href="https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.notsupportedexception">NotSupportedException</a> since this
class has no UI dependency; UI-capable hosts (e.g. WinForms) should override this
method to show a real dialog.</p>
