Declare a buffer, and use wsprintf.

char  buffer[1024];wsprintf(buffer, "%d", MyValue);MessageBox(window, buffer, "...", MB_OK

or simply do
MessageBox(window, itoa(MyValue, 10), "...", MB_OK);

or you could try string stream

#include "strstream"using namespace std;strstream sstr;int i, n;sstr << i << "string" << n << ends;MessageBox... sstr.str()

string stream will convert all compatible types you stream to it into a single string.

strstream is deprecated, use stringstream instead. The syntax is exactly the same as with strstream, except you should include sstream instead of strstream.

You can also use a switch statement.

switch(MessageBox(NULL, "text", "title", MB_YESNO)){  case ID_YES:   //do yes command stuff here  break;  case ID_NO:   //do no command stuff here  break;}
