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?

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. LPCTSTR Cap = L"HOW TO PLAY HANGMAN";
  2. 	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!

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. int DisplayMessageBox()
  2. {
  3.     int msgboxID = MessageBox(
  4.         NULL,
  5.         (LPCWSTR)L"Sample",
  6.         Cap,
  7.         MB_YESNOCANCEL 
  8.     );
  9.  
  10.     switch (msgboxID)
  11.     {
  12.     case IDCANCEL:
  13.         // TODO: add code
  14.         break;
  15.     case IDYES:
  16.         // TODO: add code
  17.         break;
  18.     case IDNO:
  19.         // TODO: add code
  20.         break;
  21.     }
  22.  
  23.     return msgboxID;
