Looking for some help.

I need to come up with a message box that pops up and has a countdown timer that count down from 15 seconds.
With two buttons, okay and cancel.
After the countdown some action will take place.
If okay is hit the action takes place immediately.
If cancel is hit the action is cancelled.

Having some trouble using <windows.h> and MessageBox since you can't easily update it.

It has to be done with C and no other language. If it can't be done I need to come up with some alternative, also using C though.
Any help would appreciated.

so i assume that means you have the timer working perfectly, but you're not sure how to update the UI to reflect it? message boxes in general are not designed to have an updated message. you'll probably have to create your own dialog box.

a quick google search found someone who wrote a lib for this. http://www.johnfindlay.plus.com/lcc-win32/winprog/winprog.htm

Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for but I don't think I will use it (it's for a project, and I feel the instructor will frown upon it).
Not sure what I am going to do otherwise, but thanks none the less.
