Meaning to create a dialog or somehow override the functionality of the "AfxMessageBox" ?

Thanks, it helps that I already have this done, but I wasn't too sure if there was a way to control the size of the Message Box by setting something that I didn't know of. But, I am assuming the answer is NO.

As we used to tell our users "Working as coded". AfxMessageBox is a wrapper for the Win32 MessageBox() function, whose job is to provide a simple dialog with a message and a couple of buttons. The box will resize itself to a certain extent based on the message to display, but its purpose is merely to display the information, and not to provide parameterisation: that function is provide by Dialog boxes q.v.

No, except indirectly by inserting LF ('\n') characters.

Didn't get it, will this make the box wider or taller?

You can't make the message box wider. It will chose a size based on how big the display is and other internal constraints. The LF characters will help you keep the box skinnier and taller. (It may be different on Vista and 7, but XP and before sometimes makes message boxes so wide that they are hard to read and look silly.)

As someone else pointed out; if you need to control the size very specifically, write a dialog box.

Too slow for what? Please explain what you are trying to achieve.

We have no idea what you are trying to achieve, nor what you have tried. Be specific about which part of your program does not work.

Hmm guys,is it possible to display number1+ number2+number3?

Eg,if a program prompts a user to input 3 numbers,N1,N2 and N3,is it possible for the program to display N1+N2+N3?As far as i know,we can use a while loop to straight away give us the final answer for N1+N2+N3.

To make it clear,if i input 5 as N1,10 as N2 and 15 as N3,can we make the program display
"total=5+10+15=30" instead of "total=30"?

Can someone guide me on this. xD

Yes, lots of people but they may want to be paid for the effort. This is your program so you must at least try and make a start on it. Have you read this[^], especially point 2?

Ok this is what i have tried so far since 2.5 hours ago...and failed >.<

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{

cout<<"c. The total sum of even integers between "<<firstNum<<" and "<<secondNum<<" is : ";
int total=0;
if(firstNum%2==0)
do
{
total=total+firstNum+2;
cout<<total;
firstNum=firstNum+2;
}while(firstNum<secondNum);

PS i chose the if(firstNum%2==0) to show that if the 1st value is an even number,that loop is to be executed.For The part where the first integer is an odd number,i should be able to write that program after you guys can help me solve the even number part Big Grin | :-D

I dont like to give solution so easily to u since you are beginner and if i do so it will be mistake from my side, but since you have already spend more than 2 hours Smile | :)

I appreciate your patience Smile | :)

So here is the solution Smile | :)

But please try to understand and do it .

cin>>firstNum;
cin>>secondNum;
cout<<"c. The total sum of even integers between "<<firstNum<<" and "<<secondNum<<" is : ";

int total=0;
while( firstNum < secondNum )
{
	if( 0 == firstNum%2 )
	{
		total += firstNum;
	}
	firstNum++;
}
cout<<total;

Your (revised) code

using namespace std;
int main()
{
  int firstNum = 2, secondNum = 10;
  int k;
  
  int total = 0;
  k = firstNum + 1;
  if (k % 2 == 1) k++;
  while (k < secondNum)
  {
    total = total + k;
    k += 2;
  }
  cout << "c. The total sum of even integers between " << firstNum << " and " << secondNum << " is : " << total;
}

Erm thanks but do u mind explaining the part where u said
if (k % 2 == 1) k++;???

And i thought that "if statement" needs to be paired with an "else"?
