Ive spent entirely too long trying to get this to work. I havent touched windows programming (WINAPI) in about 6 months. I just need one lousy function to create a dialog box. I want to put this in my Assert. I want there to be an "ok" and a "Ignore" button. The ignore buttom will make it ignore that assert next frame. I can handle the ignore part, I just need a function that I can call like this: bool doAssertDialog(char* msg); It will return true if they click ignore, and false if they click ok. The char* msg is the message that will appear on the box. The game can (and should) stop while the box is up. I know I can create dialog boxes as resources (msvc++6.0) But I cant seem to make dynamic text. There is a function is MSDN http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/winui/dlgboxes_8jqx.htm that creates one on the fly, but Im not quite sure how to use it (program crashes when I try to use it, Im not sure what to pass as the 3rd param) If someone can help me I''d be extremely gratefull. I really hate WINAPI stuff, I just need this one function. Thanks a lot. --------------- Ratfest.org
