how to write a "click me" box

what is the key words and library to exercute a box that require the user to click as an input??

p.s i mean what should i #include in my programme

What library?

MessageBox()

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>

---

as cpjust says, you need MessageBox.

Quote:

---

MessageBox(NULL, YourStringTextHere, YourStringTitleHere, MB_OK);
/* Sample of a messagebox */

---

here is a working example:

Quote:

---

#include <windows.h>

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
MessageBox(NULL, "Hi!", "Message: ", MB_OK);
}

---

however, if you want a messagebox which popups and only closes when
you click anywhere in it. you have to look for Dialogs in Windows programming.

what should i do if i wan 2 clickable box??

what do you mean by that? do you mean two buttons in a box or
something else?

You need to be more specific. No one is going to tell you how to do A or B. Try something and come back,

i mean something looks like when you are having more than 1 tab, when you try to close the explorer, it shows a dialog box having "close current tab" and "close all tabs"

first, learn Dialog Windows Programming (EFNet #Winprog).
second, here is the algorithm:

Quote:

---

if Tabs > 1 then
Make a Button with the text "Close all Tabs"
end if

Make a Button with the text "Close Current Tab"

---

the first button (Close all Tabs) is created only if you have more than one
tab. the second one (Close Current Tab) is created, with or without the first
button. if hope this algorithm helps.

UltraKing227, whenever someone gives advice on how to do 'some' windows type stuff, I perk up. But your example does not work for me. I get a:
"error C2664: 'MessageBoxW': cannot convert parameter 2 from 'const char [4]' to 'LPCWSTR'.

I never have luck with any examples given in books either. There is something magical they never tell you about - some special way to set up the 'project' or some check-box in the 'properties'. I give up trying anymore and stick with "console" error messages and real 'C' code that doesn't have illegally named main procedures. Sorry, I get all dinosaury when I see this stuff and it never compiles right for me.

Quick fix: change "strings" to L"strings" (with the L in front). ("LPCWSTR" is the gobbledygook for pointer to wide characters, interpreted as a string, or something like that, so you'll have to be using wchar_t and Long strings.)

(I suppose the longer fix would be to find the Unicode setting and change it.)
