    MessageBox() that appears and disappears automatically

    How can I create a messagebox that says something like "Waiting for keypress" (it's looking for a key to be pressed, for a control). And when the key is pressed, the messagebox disappears.

    How can I do this?

    **EDIT**
    I guess what I'm asking is how to close a messagebox when you have it's hwnd.


    Thanks,

    Matt

    Nevermind, I figured out how to do it.

    SendMessage(hwnd,WM_CLOSE,0,0);
