SDL_Init() problem on win32

SDL Development
1

I have a problem: after calling SDL_Init, if I call MessageBox, it doesn’t
work.

SDL_Init ends with a DInput error (need to upgrade)
but I want to tell the user this message.
and MessageBox(NULL,“test”,“test”,0) display nothing.
(I’ve tried with MB_TOPMOST, nothing…)

Are you linking with the SDLmain library?

See ya!

The problem may be that you need to specify MB_OK or something similar for
the last parameter.> ----- Original Message -----
