What about doing the MSN (Windows Messenger) style popup you get when
you receive a new message.  A small window "slides" up from the status
bar area of the desktop (on the start menu taskbar).  It stays visible
for a short time with the name of the sender of the message and the
first few words of the message.  Then after about 5 seconds it either
slides down or fades out.  Yours could show progress info or job status
or whatever.

A form with a timer?  You can't extend MessageBox, but you hardly need
to.
