Try this,

int Age = 12;
char buff[64];

wsprintf(buff, "I am %d years old today", Age);
MessageBox(buff, "My Age", MB_ICONINFORMATION);

Lol... we're you even looking at the screen when you typed this?!

He he sorry was late for a class so typed in a hurry (and im not a great typist). I was talking bout it earlier and it think it's somethink along the lines of

char Name[10];

CString Message;
Message = ("Hello my name is", %s, Name);
AfxMessageBox(Message);

but it's not working il tryt he other suggestion now thanks guys !

Since its windows well assume you're using CString from atlstr.h

CString sMessage;
LPCTSTR szName = _T("Homework");

sMessage.Format(_T("My name is %s."), szName);

::MessageBox(NULL, sMessage, _T("Title loike"), MB_OK);

OK thanks everyone brill one more question you know how you use %s for string and %d for int ? well whats for double ??

Rev Hellfire
