You have to write a GUI program. For MS-Windows here is a tutorial

ok, the link brought me to some helpful code, but the compiler (Visual C++) is saying the 2nd argument in MessageBox isnt the correct type. once again, I run into LPCWSTR.

#include <windows.h>

int WINAPI
WinMain(HINSTANCE hInst, HINSTANCE hPrev, LPSTR pszCmdLine, int iCmdShow)
{
	MessageBox(NULL, "Text", "Title", MB_OK | MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
	return 0;
}

Try this

MessageBox(NULL, L"Text", "Title", MB_OK | MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);

Or don't compile your code for UNICODE. Go to project --> Settings --> General and turn UNICODE off.
