How do I display a system message for the user in Edit mode?

I'm looking for a way to show a yellow message box (like the one diplayed for mirrored pages, with css-class EP-systemMessage), but cant find a way to do it. The PageWarning property on EditPanel is protected so I cant use that, and SystemMessageContainer only seems to work for GuiPlugins in Admin mode:

[GuiPlugIn(DisplayName = "Systemmeddelande", Description = "Systemmeddelande", Area = PlugInArea.EditPanel, Url = "~/Plugin/Edit/MySystemMessages.ascx")]
    public partial class MySystemMessages : EPiServer.UserControlBase
    {

        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            var editMode = Page as SystemPageBase;

            if (editMode == null)
                return;

            editMode.SystemMessageContainer.Message = "Ett meddelande"; //not working


        }
    }

Does anyone know how to do this?

With some inspirtation from here, you might do something like this:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

var editMode = Page as SystemPageBase;

if (editMode == null)

return;

editMode.LoadComplete += new EventHandler(editMode_LoadComplete);

}

protected void editMode_LoadComplete(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

var editPanel = sender as EditPanel;

editPanel.Validators.Add(new StaticValidator("Some error message"));

}

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

var editMode = Page as SystemPageBase;

if (editMode == null)

return;

editMode.LoadComplete += new EventHandler(editMode_LoadComplete);

}

protected void editMode_LoadComplete(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

var editPanel = sender as EditPanel;

editPanel.Validators.Add(new StaticValidator("Some error message"));

}

Thanx Jocke! That works - awesome.

My messages are not always a "real" warning, and this solution shows the yellow message box with the warning-icon.

But this is ok for me, and hopefully it helps someone else too.
