How do you add strings and numbers to be shown in a MessageBox?

For example, have the message box say, "x equals 5, and that's just dandy".

Code:

---

#include <string>

[...]

std::string MessageText = "X equals ";
            MessageText += X;
            MessageText += ", and that's just dandy";

MessageBox(hWnd, "Title", MessageText.c_str(), MB_OK);

I posted about this awhile ago... Oh well, here is the first code that I got a hold of:

Code:

---

#include <sstream>
#include <windows.h>

int main( void )
{
  int X = 5; // If this is what you mean't
  std::stringstream Message;
  Message << "X equals " << X << ", and that's just dandy.";
  MessageBox( NULL, Message.str().c_str(), "Title", MB_OK );
  return 0;
}

I use this way because it's the first way I got (and it works fine).

Are you sure? I thought you could only add strings and characters to a string. Any other types have to be added through a stringstream.
