Need help with windows app functions in C

[VirObitus]

Hello folks,

Ok, I've been doing windows application tutorials, and I can make a mean dropdown list and dialog box, but I have no idea how to get the windows app to use a function. Say I just want a dialog box to pop up and use the function:

int myFunction ()
{
int i = 1;

return i;
}

to display the value of i in the dialog box. How do I do that, or something similar?
C or C++ versions are both acceptable.

It depends on the GUI toolkit.
Normally you convert the result into a string and then call something like SetwindowText() for the edit box.

Take a look here for samples http://www.functionx.com/visualc/

Right. I ended up converting it to a string and using MessageBox. Problem solved.
