As strange as it might sound, it does exist: MessageBox().

As far as I know there's no way to input data in a MessageBox().

@OP: Are you creating a MFC-app or a win32? You could just open a new form with an "edit control" on it?

Look for the implementation of "InputBox"

MessageBox(NULL, "This is a test", "Daniweb rox", 0);

But it still doesn't take any input, or did I misunderstand your question?

I'm sorry, I missed the 'input' part of the question. Follow Nick's original advice.
