title: Visual C++ MessageBox
body: <p>Using visual c++ can't get the message box to compile. </p>
  
  <p>this one works. <code>MessageBox::Show("hello the world");</code></p>
  
  <p>Obviously i can't hardcode all my messages so i want something like this :</p>
  
  <pre><code>string s = "hello the world";
  MessageBox::Show(s); | also tried MessageBox::Show(NULL,s);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>doesn't work. also tried :</p>
  
  <pre><code>char* test = (char*)s.c_str();
  MessageBox::Show(test);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>include  on top of my file</p>
  
  <p>searched google, no code sample on msdn for c++ messagebox, most of stuff i found isnt for visual c++.</p>
  
  <p>thanks</p>
