[Done] 4.61 B1 - MessageBox_ API call does nothing

[Inf0Byt3]

The following code does nothing when I run it in PB 4.61 B1 on a Windows XP SP3 machine:

Code: Select all

MessageBox_(0,"test","test",0)

The following code does nothing when I run it in PB 4.61 B1 on a Windows XP SP3 machine

This code works?

Code: Select all

InitCommonControls_()
MessageBox_(0,"test","test",0)

That's because when XP skins are enabled, you need to do as in the above post. This is a Windows "thing".

Oh, I see, thanks for clarifying this. I got mislead by this kind of code :

Code: Select all

If OpenWindow(0, 100, 100, 100, 100, "PureBasic Window", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_MinimizeGadget | #PB_Window_MaximizeGadget)
  Repeat
    Event = WaitWindowEvent()
    If Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow  ; If the user has pressed on the close button
      MessageBox_(0,"test","test",0)
      Quit = 1
    EndIf
  Until Quit = 1
EndIf
End

As you can see, there is no initialization in the above code. But that's because PureBasic calls "InitCommonControls_()" internally for use with the GUI it creates. It's all clear now, thanks.
