Oh as for the whole (LPCWSTR) casting thing: It wouldn’t compile unless I put those in. It gave me this error message:
Error 1 error C2664: ‘MessageBoxW’ : cannot convert parameter 2 from ‘const char [22]’ to ‘LPCWSTR’
Put an L infront of your string to make it a wide string. L”Goodbye cruel World”
Then you won’t need the cast.
You can also use the TEXT(“”) macro that will create an unicode string or ascii string depending on your configuration settings.
The reason you were seeing chinese is that MessageBox was interpreting an ascii string as unicode.
