Just remove the first parameter (the CWnd pointer), as it is implied in a class inherited from CWnd.

Solution 1

Each CWnd has a MessageBox[^] function where the parent of the message box is the CWnd you're calling it from.

If you want to call the global function, make sure you specify the global scope

C++

::MessageBox(NULL, L"Message", L"Title", MB_OK)
