I'm trying to get a dialog box to pop up. It works if I do 'invoke MessageBox, HWND_DESKTOP, "Contents", "Title", MB_ICONERROR' then it works. If, however, I define the contents and title in the .data section, it doesn't work. Here's a summary of what I'm trying to do, with the useless parts snipped out:

Code:

.data
szTitle db 'Title goes here!',0
szContents db 'Contents go here!',0

.code
    invoke MessageBox, HWND_DESKTOP, szContents, szTitle, MB_ICONERROR

We don't encourage that here as it often turns out that the "useless parts" are the parts causing the problem. Indeed your code posted above looks perfectly fine for what it is. So perhaps I can suggest that you post the "useless parts" also?

Never mind, I got it working (though I'm still not sure what was wrong or what I changed).
