MessageBox c++

1 New Member
Hello guys,

Just to note off, i've spent the last 3 years working in Visual Basics, so I have these really bad habbits in c++ right now, heh, however I'm working on it.


Right I have the real down basic question, when someone clicks on a button I want a messagebox to appear on the screen.

My current code has this



Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.         }
  2. #pragma endregion
  3.     private: System::Void button1_Click(System::Object^  sender, System::EventArgs^  e) {
  4.  
  5.  
  6.  
  7.              }
  8.     };
  9. }
  10.  
  11.  
Now I spent a little time trying to find the simple code to add a box when the user clicks on the button1, I found this, which I believe is the code?

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. MessageBox(NULL,"CTRL+BREAK received!","CEvent",MB_OK);
  2.  
However it didnt work when I place it underneath the ' e){ '

could someone please point me in the correct direction.

Thanks!

If you use Microsoft Visual C++ try to delete the "NULL," in your MessageBox. Eg.: MessageBox("AKU BISA TOH!!!!!","INFO RMATIONNNNIS",M B_OK);

I have a strange situation. A simple call to MessageBox.Show("XXX", "YYY") does not display the message in the messagebox with a visible font. Based on the content of the messagebox, the box sizes properly so I know there is a message in there. I also found a keyboard shortcut where <ctrl>+<insert> will copy the contents of the messagebox to the clipboard in plain text. I see my messagebox text in the clipboard contents but not in the...

I have ordered the book .NET Framework Solutions, In Search of the Lost Win32 API by John Paul Meuller which I think will help answer some of my questions I have regarding making custom MessageBoxes, but that isn't going to be here for a few days. So, I thought I would ask you guys how to put one of hte standard MessageBox icons, such as MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation, into my custom MessageBox. Thanks,

This is a restatement of an earlier post that evidently wasn't clear. I am building a custom MessageBox dialog that has, among other things, a few new button options (yes to all, no to all, etc.) and would like to make the dialog look and act like the standard MessageBox. Therefore, I would like to put in the message section the same type of icons found in the MessageBox dialog, such as MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation. In another post here I had...

I'm having a strange problem (or at least it seems strange to me) trying to display a MessageBox in a VC++ .NET forms application. If I put the call to MessageBox::Show in the form's .h file, it works just fine. If I put the call in the .cpp file, I get the following two errors: error C2653: 'MessageBoxA': is not a class or namespace name error C2660: 'System::Windows::Forms::Control::Show': function does not take

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
