Create Your Own MessageBox

In this tutorial I will teach you how to create your own messagebox.

The first thing you do is call the MessageBoxA function with the shit it needs.

int WINAPI MessageBox(
__in_opt HWND hWnd,
__in_opt LPCTSTR lpText,
__in_opt LPCTSTR lpCaption,
__in UINT uType
);

MessageBox(NULL, "My own messagebox!", "Caption!", 0);

You have now learned how to create your own message box.

I recommend calling MessageBoxW and using your own unicode strings to save time because MessageBoxA is just a wrapper for MessageBoxW on newer systems. Heres something to convert crap to unicode if you ever need it. Just use the L macro so that the compiler converts your crap to unicode for you and you can save some resources and such.

So yeah, I wrote this a while ago and I really didn't feel like translating it to C because i'm tired right now...
