problem with MessageBox!!! [modified]

[Lord_Vader]

Hello everybody,I have just purchased Visual Studio 2005 and I have problem with the MessageBox funtion!!! when I write for example MessageBoc("Hello") an error occurs: cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const char [6]' to 'LPCTSTR' Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast There is no problem with other functions like MessageBeep why???? In Visual Studio 6 there is no such problem please help -- modified at 20:27 Tuesday 23rd May, 2006

I am sorry for the inconvenience but I figured out that the cause was the unicode libraries...

VC2005 defaults to UNICODE builds. Either turn off the UNICODE option, or use the TCHAR functions and macros

MessageBox(_T("Hello"));
