As I mentioned in an earlier post, I'm using the MessageBox API call to display a message before running a console application.

Unfortunately, this acts as a "modal" form within my application. In other words, I can freely access other Windows, but my console application will not continue execution until the message box is closed.

I tried to set the hWnd parameter to NULL and HWND_DESKTOP, but neither changes the behavior. Is there a way to keep the MessageBox on the desktop and allow my program to continue execution? Do I need to use a different API call?

Any help would be greatly appreciated..
