Thread: simple text dialog ok cancel

I don't want to read three hundred msdn pages, I just want to know how to create a simple text box [like the run box, i suppose] in which the user can type something [like hello, i suppose] and then press okay [with the mouse, i suppose] and I'd like to then go on to use the string they entered in my program [like for a computer, i suppose]

something like

Code:

char stringy[BUFSIZ];

showSuperMegaTextWindow(stringy);

MessageBox(NULL,stringy,stringy,0);

except [i suppose] it would probably be more complicated
