MessageBox()

I've tried various ways to display the content of output in a message box but it keeps displaying a message box with garbage printed. This is what I have after some point.

Code:

---

string output = "Left button is clicked";
MessageBox(hwnd, reinterpret_cast<const char *>(&output),  "Mouse Event", MB_OK);

---

Use c_str() member function ie:

Code:

---

std::string output = "Left button is clicked";
MessageBox(hwnd, output.c_str(),  "Mouse Event", MB_OK);

---

kewl, it works, thnx
