Hi Guys,

I'm having a few problems with Windows, well what I'm coding should be working but isn't. (test9.b0 compiles into test9.asm).

Basically the second string isn't printing... Any clues on why? (Real newbie Windows question). Do I have to clean up the stack or does the called proc do that for me (sorry I generally code for other platforms). I've tried both (no cleanup and cleanup), without any success?

Also since Windows is GUI centric, and my application is a console based one, is it possible to use GUI components from an application that has been assembled as a console application? What I'm thinking is, that if a user doesn't specify any command line arguments then display a MessageBox with the help, rather than printing the help to the console. (In case a user double clicks on the application assuming it's a GUI application).

PS. Target is WinXP x64

Absolutely, no problem at all. You can use any GUI function you can think of . (the console vs gui app is just a mark in the exe header to tell windows whether it should open a console and associate it to the process)

Can't test your code as I don't have x64, yet

Cheers,

Thanks, good to know.
