Calling win32 functions from MFC code

[Sergey]

HI ALL!
I try to call winapi function messagebox in mfc code.
VC++6 compiler shows following error:
'error C2660: 'MessageBoxA' : function does not take 4 parameters'
but it has 4 parameters and in win32 code all works fine.
It's not a problem to output message - AfxMessageBox is
a proper function, but I need to use win32 functions.
Maybe there are some calling rules for win32 functions,
calling from mfc ?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

This is a C++ scope problem, and is not in itself
anything to do with MFC. There is simply more than
one implementation of MessageBox in scope.

Use the C++ scope resultion operator '::'

MessageBox(); // in a subclass of CWnd, refers to CWnd::MessageBox

::MessageBox(); // always refers to the global MessageBox
