"MessageBoxA" error

[Charlie@CBFC]

Hi:

Using messagebox class, I'm getting error saying "MessageBox A is not a class
or namespace". I'm simply calling MessageBox class in a button event this
so:

private: System::Void button1_Click(S ystem::Object * sender,
System::EventAr gs * e)
{
getExistingRace * per = new getExistingRace (); // modal form for selecting
an existing race record
if (per->ShowDialog() == DialogResult::O K)
{
MessageBox::Sho w(S"click OK button");
}
}

If intellisense is correctly displaying MessageBox props, then I must be
using correct namespace. What the heck is a MessageBoxA class?

Thanks,
Charlie

Re: "MessageBo xA" error

You need to put

#undef MessageBox

somewhere at the beginning of your code (after the #include directives is
best, I guess) because MessageBox is still defined from the native code.

Re: &quot;MessageBo xA&quot; error

Depends on what headers you include. If you include <windows.h> it sure is
defined.
