    Since you say Msg Box, this is a windows question right?
    And those should be in the windows forum.
    Myself, i have no idea.

    Hmm just like ErionD said this is a Windows specific function you should of asked on the Windows board, but ill answer what I think your askign. If you need to have the value as an int or whatever then store it as one, then when you need to display a message box convert the number to a char ex:
    Code:
    int x = 15;
    char val[33]; // This is the max length that itoa can fill
    
    itoa(x,val,10); // x is the num to convert, val is the buffer to write to and 10 is the base number (10 = Dec, 16 = Hex, 8 = Oct, 2 = Bin)
    
    MessageBox(NULL,"The message",val,MB_OK);

    Or

    Code:
        CString csText;
        Int iPoints = 5; 
    
        csText.Format("You got %d points", iPoints);
    
        MessageBox("csText");
