Hello all.

I am wanting to show a summary of the files that ViewpointKiller has deleted after the program has finished its various and sundry tasks. I was thinking of showing a MessageBox that had the summary inside of it with all of the files deleted. Problem is, I don't know how to do this, and I don't really know how to put this into search terms in Google or Msdn. I was thinking along the lines of this:

(Toggle Plain Text)

char removz1 = DeleteFile("C:\\BlahBlah.tmp");
// and then...
MessageBox(hwnd, "Deleted %s", removz1, "Summary", MB_OK); // illegal code, i know

I hope you see what I mean...

Also, is it possible to put a working url link inside a MessageBox?
Thanks in advance.

Use sprintf() or snprintf() to build your message string.

You might need to use wide-character variants, depending on your target OS. To make your code more portable between flavors of Win32, #include "tchar.h", use TCHAR instead of char, _TEXT("string") instead of "string", and use the string functions sensitive to TCHAR's type. Clickie for more info.
