question about message boxes

[VvITylerIvV]

[php]
#include <windows.h> // include the basic windows header file

// the entry point for any Windows program
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine,
int nShowCmd)
{
// create a "Hello World" message box using MessageBox()
MessageBox(NULL,
L"Hello World!",
L"Just another Hello World program!",
MB_ICONEXCLAMATION | MB_CANCELTRYCONTINUE);

return 0;
}
[/php]

How do I make stuff happen when yes, no, cancel is pushed?

I know it would have to do with the if statement but where would I use it? just getting into windows programming now. (skipped void, classes and all that stuff for now, going to get back to it tomorow)

I think you should finish C++ before going into APIs

MSDN is your god: https://msdn.microsof*****m/en-us/libr...8VS.85%29.aspx

If a message box has a Cancel button, the function returns the IDCANCEL value if either the ESC key is pressed or the Cancel button is selected. If the message box has no Cancel button, pressing ESC has no effect.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

If the function succeeds, the return value is one of the following menu-item values.
Return code/value Description

And I know that... I already know how to create a simple window I was curious and went ahead and read that. But my current c++ TBQ isn't all that great. I want it to be slightly better, with a message box rather then the console. I'm going to implement all the stuff I missed into the message box game. It's just a learning process.

MSDN is your god: MessageBox Function (Windows)

If a message box has a Cancel button, the function returns the IDCANCEL value if either the ESC key is pressed or the Cancel button is selected. If the message box has no Cancel button, pressing ESC has no effect.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

If the function succeeds, the return value is one of the following menu-item values.
