[Win32 API] Creating timed messagebox (disappears after N sec.)
Author
How do you create a messagebox, that auto-disappears after, say, 5 seconds?
(and how do you make the "Ok" button disappear?)
Any workaround? I need to make something like the Alert box in J2ME. It just displays a window with a text.
(I'm going to use it for something like: "connecting" status message, etc.)
Thanks!
It is a Usenet (very) FAQ.
ask on win32 api newsgroup :

You could make your own window with a wndproc function that closed itself after 5 seconds.
You will have to create a class and register it then create the window.

Usenet exists for 30 years and all Win32 api questions have been answered since!
Timed messagebox is a classic one.
You access with Google Groups or Outlook Express or etc...

A little off topic here, but I fail to see how usernet would be any better help than the GameDev.Net community we have here.
And to the OP: Yeah, the best way to solve the problem is excactly what you've done (Assuming you're using the DialogBox or DialogBoxParam function to create the dialog).
The MessageBox function is just a simple helper function, so it doesn't have much in the way of customisation available.

Contrary to popular belief, usenet is not for researching problems. It's for when you are feeling good about yourself and you need to have random morons call you a f**kin idiot in order to bring yourself back to Earth. See: sci.physics.relativity

QFT.
Seriously, the last time I asked a question on usenet, I then followed up with another question because the author's response was a little vague. I was flamed with stuff like "why don't you read what I tell you!!!!".
I was tempted to respond again and suggest anger management classes. [smile]
