message box options

[Danielle Harvey]

I use the following code to construct a message box;


void CMainFrame::OnDialogsMessage()

{

MessageBox("Message", "Title", MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);

}


What other options besides MB_ICONEXCLAMATION are available for message boxes?

When I do a search for messagebox on MSDN I get a billion results, none of

which help.


Any response anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated.

Look in windows.h. The possibilities are

MB_ICONSTOP
MB_ICONQUESTION
MB_ICONEXCLAMATION
MB_ICONINFORMATION
MB_ICONMASK

There are also MB_ codes for the message box butttons

MB_OK
MB_OKCANCEL
MB_ABORTRETRYIGNORE
MB_YESNOCANCEL
MB_YESNO
etc.

and

MB_DEFBUTTON1
MB_DEFBUTTON2
etc.

You need to search in the right place. Use the Index tab in MSDN (not the Search tab).

I found the help for MessageBox in mk:@MSITStore:c:\Program%20Files\Microsoft%20Visual%20Studio\MSDN98\98VSa\1033\winui.chm::/devdoc/live/pdui/dlgboxes_76bc.htm. Type in in the URL dialog box under the "Go" menu of MSDN.
