Messagebox and Manifest

[S van Leent]

When I include a manifest (XML) file to use the Common Controls version 6 in the Resource or the path, and I call ::MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("Hello"), TEXT("Hello"), MB_OK), the messagebox isn't shown (I only hear a sound), if I do not include the manifest everything works fine. It goes even wrong when I do:

#include "resource.h" // only when using the resource variant
#include <tchar.h>
#include <windows.h>

int __stdcall
_tWinMain (HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE, TCHAR * lpCmdLine, int mainFrameDisplayMode)
{
    MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("Hello"), TEXT("Hello"), MB_OK);
}

This is most weird! Try adding the flag MB_ICONINFORMATION as well as MB_OK (Just a guess) . Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

Tried it but it didn't work, it's even more weird, I looked at the sorce of MFC, and know I'm really totally confused, it's done the same way I do. LPCTSTR Dutch = TEXT("Double Dutch :-)");

Do I need to register a manifest file or something, I really don't know whats going wrong. LPCTSTR Dutch = TEXT("Double Dutch :-)");
