Untyped problem

#1

Not strictly OpenFl related, was watching Hugh Sanderson video on “magic” and decided to try it.

untyped __global__.MessageBox(0, "Hello", "Title", 0);

throws :

Error: Main.cpp
./src/i/m/a/Main.cpp(41) : error C2039: ‘MessageBox’ : is not a member of ‘`global namespace’’
./src/i/m/a/Main.cpp(41) : error C3861: ‘MessageBox’: identifier not found

Error: Build failed
Build halted with errors (haxe.exe).
Done(1)

Has anything changed about this, everywhere I look tells me it should be working. Do I have to include some header files ? Any pointers would be awesome… I’m kind of lost.

#2

Try stage.window.alert ("Hello", "Title"); :smile:

#3

throws:

src/i/m/a/Main.hx:62: characters 2-7 : Unknown identifier : stage

this is on haxe cpp project. :slight_smile:

#4

Oh, Lime has alert box support on the Window class, if you’re okay with using Lime or OpenFL?

#5

Yeah, no problem with using any of them. Was just trying to access native and its not happening, don’t know what I’m missing.

#6

Probably a missing header, see this example test:

Got it. Thanks.
