Hello,

I would like to program under C++ a similar : MessageBox(NULL, "Error during initialization of WinIo.", "Error!", MB_ICONEXCLAMATION | MB_OK); but instead of hitting a keyboard to continue processing I want a TimeOut of 2 seconds window display without pressing any key
Any idea how to do it? Please, Thanks

Just start a timer and when you get a WM_TIMER message, kill the timer, or whatever you need to do and then fire this event off with the message box, OR insert a user message into the event queue, and let the winproc dispatch the message to your event handler. But, bottom line, just use a normal windows timer and have it generate a WM_TIMER event in 2 seconds. Simple, windows stuff.

Kind of thing is all you need.

Read a good windows book cover to cover like Petzolds or similar.

Oh, well, that is how windows OS is design, it sends messages, I ‘m surprised that I did thought about that, Thank you Sir!
