    It won't.

    It will put a little picture in the MB though.
    Just a set of flags for the style. MB_OK is the default so not realy needed.

    Since you are using MFC, use CString for your buffer to erase the doubt and start first with the simple MessageBox function and then edit afterwards, like the code below.

    //char buff[1024];
    CString buff;
    int answer;

    answer = Cube(m_value);

    //sprintf(buff, "The value of %i is: %i", m_value, answer);
    buff.Format("The value of %d is: %d",m_value,answer);

    MessageBox(buff);

    Just try that...

    Already got it working:
    Code:
    void CWinCubeDlg::OnCube() 
    {
    	// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
    	char buff[1024];
    	int answer;
    
    	UpdateData(TRUE);
    	answer = Cube(m_value);
    	
    	sprintf(buff, "After being cubed, the value of %i is: %i", m_value, answer);
    	MessageBox(buff, "The results...", MB_ICONINFORMATION);
    }
    Thanks a lot for everyone's help.
    Not yet, have to think of one...

    I have tried everything in this topic, and the compiler constantly gives me the error:
    error C2664: 'CWnd::MessageBoxW' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const char [28]' to 'LPCTSTR'
    Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast
    when I try:

    Code:
    MessageBox("Help, Something went wrong.", "Error", 
          MB_ICONERROR | MB_OK);
    from the example at the msdn or something similar.

    Shouldn't it be
    L"Help, Something went wrong."

    or
    TEXT ("Help, Something went wrong.")

    if you want to use UNICODE?

    You should also read the forum rules about digging up old threads.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
