Hi!

When I want to implement the WINAPI fucntions/Windows MB_YESNOCANCEL,
MB_YESNO, MB_RETRYCANCEL, MB_OKCANCEL, MB_ABORTRETRYIGNORE I have a problem.
I don't know where to implement the functions instead of inserting some code
into stddialogs_ntibody and stddialogs.
I want to use the "real" WINAPI functions/windows because then there are no
translations necessary and I don't have to do double work - if Microsoft has
already implemented these windows, why not call them?

As you might already have guessed I also want to know which button was
clicked by the user.

And could someone please explain how to implement certain WINAPI functions
like the following one in BETA?

BOOL GetUserName(
  LPTSTR lpBuffer,  // address of name buffer
  LPDWORD nSize     // address of size of name buffer
);

My problem is that I don't know how to get the address of a variable.
Adresses and addresses.. well, yes, it's C :)


Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance.

Regards,
S. Kimmel
