Display a Variable in MessageBox c++
Create a temporary buffer to store your string in and use sprintf
, change the formatting depending on your variable type. For your first example the following should work:
char buff[100]; string name = "stackoverflow"; sprintf_s(buff, "name is:%s", name.c_str()); cout << buff;
Then call message box with buff as the string argument
MessageBox(hWnd, buff, "Msg title", MB_OK | MB_ICONQUESTION);
for an int change to:
int d = 3;sprintf_s(buff, "name is:%d",d);
This can be done with a macro
#define MSGBOX(x) \{ \ std::ostringstream oss; \ oss << x; \ MessageBox(oss.str().c_str(), "Msg Title", MB_OK | MB_ICONQUESTION); \}
To use
string x = "fred";int d = 3;MSGBOX("In its simplest form");MSGBOX("String x is " << x);MSGBOX("Number value is " << d);
Alternatively, you can use varargs (the old fashioned way: not the C++11 way which I haven't got the hang of yet)
void MsgBox(const char* str, ...){ va_list vl; va_start(vl, str); char buff[1024]; // May need to be bigger vsprintf(buff, str, vl); MessageBox(buff, "MsgTitle", MB_OK | MB_ICONQUESTION);}string x = "fred";int d = 3;MsgBox("In its simplest form");MsgBox("String x is %s", x.c_str());MsgBox("Number value is %d", d);
Answer to your question:
string name = 'stackoverflow';
MessageBox("name is: "+name , "Msg title", MB_OK | MB_ICONQUESTION);
do in same way for others.
