- Well you may have done a lot of work for nothing. Take a look at some of
- the .doc files in the \Borlandc\Doc Directory I think. The Function you
- want to use is
- BWCCMessageBox(HWindow, "Message", "Title", MB_OK | MB_ICONS);
-
- Make sure you #include <BWCC.H>
-
- The Hand, "?", "!", and "i", take the place of the
- Stop Sign, "?", "!" and "i" in windows regular message box
-
- MessageBox(HWindow, "Message", "Title", MB_OK | MB_ICONS);
- Check out the Windows API.
-
- Good Luck!
