Create an autoclose MessageBox in C/C++

Hi, I need you to create a special version of MessageBox in C/C++ that will close automatically (say in 10 seconds). I am using the Microsoft C/C++ Compiler. My messageboxes all just have an OK button, e.g. int myReconExit(char *server,int retrycount) { char buffer[1024]; sprintf (buffer,"Failed to reconnect to the Licence Server after %d attempts.\nCIRCLY will now close, so the Licence can be returned to the Licence Server.\n",retrycount); MessageBox( NULL, buffer, "Connection Status", MB_OK ); exit(-1); } My code has these includes: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <windows.h> So can you create MessageBoxTimed with these parameters? int seconds; seconds = 10; MessageBoxTimed( NULL, buffer, "Connection Status", MB_OK, seconds ); Regards, Leigh
