Hi,

I need to open a messagebox after launching the GUI Application Window. There should be some delay between GUI Launched and then messagebox popping up.

The Application is written using VC++ and MFC.

Please let me know how should I do it?

Thanks & Regards,
Nitin

Chris is right, but here's a general answer... you probably just need an AfxMessageBox() after the creation of the dialog (so it should be coded within the CDialog derived class). To add a delay, create a timer within OnInitDialog() and have the timer handler create the AfxMessageBox(), kill the timer afterward so you don't get the message box popping up periodically.
