Messagebox appears like ConfirmPopup?

[RobertoBozzolo]

Hi all,

I tried to use MessageBox SDK function in order to give the user standard windows messages including icons. My code is the following:

  strcpy (msg, "ATTENZIONE!!!\n");
  strcat (msg, "Verranno cancellati i dati delle prove\n");
  strcat (msg, "eseguite fino ad ora.\n\n");
  strcat (msg, "Sei daccordo?");
  if (MessageBox ((HWND)GetCVIWindowHandle (), msg, "Nuova sessione di prove", MB_OKCANCEL || MB_ICONQUESTION || MB_APPLMODAL) == IDCANCEL)
   return 0;

With my surprise, the dialogue box displayed is exactly the same as with the folling code, that is a standard CVI popup window:

  if (!ConfirmPopup ("Nuova sessione di prove", msg))
   return 0;

What can be the reason?

 

I am using CVI 7.1.1 (313) on WinXP Pro SP2; I included windows.h and user32.lib in the project.

I think "MB_OKCANCEL || MB_ICONQUESTION || MB_APPLMODAL" should be "MB_OKCANCEL | MB_ICONQUESTION | MB_APPLMODAL"
