Hi,
I am using message box in vc++ console application, in that how to know which button i clicked YES or NO?.
Here is the piece of code i am pasting, which i did please check once and anyone can suggest me whats the wrong??

C#

if(MessageBox(HWND_DESKTOP, L"License Failed", L"Get License",  MB_YESNO) == IDYES)
        {
            return;// even i am clicking on YES or NO whatever button am i pressing, its not entering inside this block
        }

As per my requirement if i press YES I need to enter inside.

Note: i checked the same thing by replacing HWND_DESKTOP with NULL, still not working.

Your code works fine on my system (MessageBox returns 6 on button 'Yes' click).

thank you for your reply,
Yes in my system also its returning 6 only. but not entering the block at all. I am using console application in Visual C++ 12.

return isn't the first statement inside that block is it? (return will exit the function immediately)

No, return is not a first statement, but its not at all entering the block even its success also, don't know why.
Thank you

what does it return:

int rc = MessageBox(HWND_DESKTOP, L"License Failed", L"Get License",  MB_YESNO);

Have you redefined MB_YESNO, IDYES or is MessageBox user func in your scope? (Don't do it!!!)
Read the MessageBox documentation.

Write what was wrong.

I got it whats the wrong i made.

actually i am returning from the block in which i am using the MessageBox, not from the the main application. So i added that MessageBox verification in main application instead in sub function.

Thank you all for your suggestions.
