MessageBoxA?

Could someone please tell me how to use the MessageBoxA() command? I put in the extern code and the message box appears but the text and title are...not right.

How's this?

Strict

Extern "win32"
	Function MessageBoxW( hwnd, lpText$w, lpCaption$w, uType )
EndExtern


MessageBoxW( Null, "Message body text!", "Titlebar Text", 0 )

When accessing the Windows API in BlitzMax, you may as well use the unicode (wide-character) implementations of the functions which have a 'W' suffix instead of 'A' unless you are planning on running your programs on Windows 9X/Me.

I know this post is old, but all I get is wierd characters no matter what I put into the parts.

Works here as expected. Did you use the syntax above or did you try the MassageBoxA with Unicode character? That would give strange output.
