messagebox loop

Code:

                      bool close = false;
                    while(close == false)
                    {              
                    if(MessageBox(NULL,"ONLY THE LUBEMAN CAN CLOSE THIS!!!!", "So Are You The LUBEMAN???",
                       MB_YESNO | MB_ICONERROR == IDYES))
                       {
                       close = true; 
                       }
                       else if(MessageBox(NULL,"ONLY THE LUBEMAN CAN CLOSE THIS!!!!", "So Are You The LUBEMAN???",
                       MB_YESNO | MB_ICONERROR == IDNO))
                       {
                       close = false;   
                       }

ok when i click close it just closes after asking the question it doesnt loop if i say no or anything? its like it just reads it and completely ignores the fact that IF then do this is there a reason it does this or what am i missing?

it completely skips the else if only asking the question once i just cant get the question to ask and if it says no then loop back if it says yes then exit and go destroy the window. i have no clue why its like the messagebox if's seem immune to the fact that { } normally ment follow these instructions only if ID_YES is done and its just done regardless.

any reason for this??? thanks

ive fiddled with this for a while and this is just the curent result im running with

You only want to call MessageBox once, and check its return value:

Code:

  bool close = false;
  while(close == false)
  {              
  if (MessageBox(NULL,"ONLY THE LUBEMAN CAN CLOSE THIS!!!!", "So Are You The LUBEMAN???", MB_YESNO | MB_ICONERROR ) == IDYES) 
  {
    close = true; 
  }
  else 
  {
     close = false;   
  }

ah well that explains that though thought i tried that guess not lol thanks anyway

oh well one other thing how would you kill the dos window in the background it has the window that i made but the dos window is still in the background??? is there like a hide dos window command?

Well if your not using the console window in the background why not tell your compiler to compile for Win32 Application, thus not even showing the console box.

so rather than select empty project select that win32 application???? or will a windows application work? and last time i did that i couldnt seem to link the resource files in at all?

Here is my little and very simple MessageBox loop:

Code:

#include <windows.h>

char Name[100] = "Uncloseable";

int main()
{
    for(int i; i;)
    {
    SetConsoleTitle( Name );
    HWND hwnd = FindWindow( NULL, Name );
    ShowWindow(hwnd, SW_HIDE);
    ::MessageBox(0,"You can't close this!","Uncloseable",MB_ICONWARNING);
    }
}

Ok I'm just going to guess your using Dev-C++, if your not it will probably be similar. Open up Dev and go to Options>>Compiler Options>>Linker(the tab)>>Check the box that says Compile for Win32 Application.
