checkbox

blobbob110 (16)
At the start of my program, I have a window pop up that tells the user about the program. I want to add a checkbox that lets the user prevent that box from showing again. (The only MSDN page I found was for XP only, I'm using win7)

MessageBox is of no use to you, you either need to write your own DialogBox and put your controls in it, simulating standard MessageBox API, or use other people code, like this one:

To remember user option, store some flag in registry or configuration file and read it back every time.

another problem. 'PPMSGBOXPARAMS' does not name a type. using code from the website you linked.

You have not included "PPMessageBox.h". As you put the problem, I assume you are a beginner in C++ programming.
