MessageBox error (hard one) 1

[Arowana]

Hi,

In my code i have:

...
if(flag==1)
MessageBox(NULL,"Message1","Message2",MB_OK);
else
MessageBox(NULL,"Message3,"Message4,MB_OK);
...

but when i compile i get the error C2660 MessageBOx to not accept 4 arguments.

in other parts of the code i have the same syntax and i do not get the error.

Please help

Thanks

I think I know what your problem is.
When you call 'MessageBox' function from a class which is derived from the class 'CWnd' the function only get 3 parameters (it is the MFC MessageBox Function). If you still want to call the API function you should add '::' before the function.

...
if(flag==1)
::MessageBox(NULL,"Message1","Message2",MB_OK);
else
::MessageBox(NULL,"Message3,"Message4,MB_OK);
...

Goodluck...

Hi

If your are using MFC, you should consider the function AfxMessageBox().
Otherwise, use MessageBox as this:

MessageBox( "Test1", "Test2", MB_OK);

If the AfxMessageBox does not fit your needs, the Ido's solution is better as you express the global namespace with the ::, which is, HMHO, better.
