Description Taiki 2013-03-07 18:53:35 UTC 
Hi, if you create a message box (with SDL_ShowSimpleMessageBox or the other API), it only create a huge window with the content of the message into, very different of a 'classical' message box.
This has been experimented on Windows 8

Is it because people working on those API forgot to finish them? Or to a Windows8 bug? Or simply by design in which case, they aren't really usable...

Regards

Taiki

The message box API wasn't finished on Windows.
It should work correctly in the latest snapshot now:
