Dialog..that waits

[jackall]

Many members of this forum in the past have helped me by sharing their widespread knowledge and immense experience in programming. I learned little by little from the suggestions and tips given by them. Thanks .

As part of that process…
I understand that Dialog box is a small window that waits for information from the user; having received that info, it bows out without a sound.

But how to create one? That is my issue now. Please look at these lines...

#include<iostream>
#include<windows.h>
using namespace std;

int main () {
string nme;

cout<<"Enter name\n";
cin>>nme;
cin.ignore ();
if(nme=="abc"){

MessageBoxA(NULL,"..","Right",MB_OK|MB_TOPMOST);
}else{
MessageBoxA(NULL,"..","Wrong",MB_OK|MB_TOPMOST);
}
cin.get();
//return 0;
}

The Dos window where we input information has to be replaced by a Dialog box.
..that waits for information.

There are 2 things to be done :

1) Change the program from console to windows application.
Use a WinMain function instead of the regular main.

2) Call the DialogBox() function to display a dialog. (You need a resource as well that describes what the dialogbox looks like)

This probably doesn't mean much to you, but all will get clear if you go through these nice and compact tutorials (I started with those a long time ago, and they helped me a lot) :

part 7 describes dialogboxes in detail. Have fun
