getting decission from message box?

May 13th, 2009

hi guys, new to c++ here. So we have a school project due tomorrow, a hangman game of sort and i just wanted to go a bit above the required so i thought i would put in a message box. Now i got the working and all but the thing is, i would like to figure out that if the user clicks NO then the program exits? how can i do this?

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
LPCTSTR Cap = L"HOW TO PLAY HANGMAN";
	MessageBox(NULL, L"sample",Cap, MB_YESNOCANCEL );
LPCTSTR Cap = L"HOW TO PLAY HANGMAN";
	MessageBox(NULL, L"sample",Cap, MB_YESNOCANCEL );

as you can see, my msg box has 3 click able buttons, YES NO and CANCLE. How can i make my program do something is say NO is pressed?

like
if NO is pressed
exit

thank you!

It's in the return value. Read the MSDN page.

It's the same as for AfxMessageBox: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...cb(VS.71).aspx

If you are forced to reinvent the wheel at least try to invent a better one!
