C++ Message Box>.

[jdk0118@gmail.com]

So I am making some code that shows your mouses X and Y coordinates.
As of now I am doing it via command line and I have to press enter.

How would I got about putting it in a MessageBox() ?
I tried it but I can't put the variable in..

Any help would be appreciated.
This is what I have so far..

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>

int main()
{
while(1)
{


POINT cursorPos;
GetCursorPos(&c ursorPos);
float x = 0;
x = cursorPos.x;
float y = 0;
y = cursorPos.y;






system("cls");
std::cout << "X: ";
std::cout << x;
std::cout << "\n";
std::cout << "Y: ";
std::cout << y;
std::cin.get();


}

return 0;
}

It's a platform related topic. You'd better try some *windows* related
group.

Or, if you don't want your apps to be MS Windows only, look

One can also use QT.

How to call MessageBox is platform specific, but the OP obviously
wanted to build a string and pass the string to MessageBox().

Let's assume that MessageBox takes a const char*, you could use a
std::ostringstr eam like this:

#include <sstream>
#include <string>

// a function that takes a C-style string
void SomeFunction(co nst char*);

int main()
{
float x = 0;
float y = 0;

std::ostringstr eam message;
message << "X: " << x;
message << "\n";
message << "Y: " << y;

// build temporary std::string from stringstream,
// get const char* from std::string,
// then call your function:
SomeFunction( message.str().c _str() );
}
