question about message boxes

MSDN is your god: http://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.

Thank you very much ) that msdn website really helped as did your explanation.

Just basically a game where answer yes or no to questions... the same as my console application, but in message boxes instead
