I have a windows dialog prog using msvc++. the dialog has a button on with the text "ok" (without the quotes) - problem below:-Why does'nt the message box show?Code:char ok[10]; case IDOK: GetDlgItemText(hWnd, IDOK, ok, sizeof(ok)); if (ok == "ok") { MessageBox(hWnd, "BOO", "BOO", MB_OK); } break;
You cant use the "==" operator on char arrays like that...
include string.h and do this
Code:char ok[10]; case IDOK: GetDlgItemText(hWnd, IDOK, ok, sizeof(ok)); if (!strcmp(ok,"ok")) { MessageBox(hWnd, "BOO", "BOO", MB_OK); } break;
!strcmp(ok,"ok") is valid, but it would be more correct to print (strcmp(ok,"ok") == 0).
The first could easily be read "if the strings ok and "ok" doesn't compare".

Yeah I suppose the (... = 0) is easier to understand....but I kind of like the (!..) thing......ah well!
