I don't understand something about masm32 here is a basic program to call a messagebox

My question is why can't we use pure assembly to call this message box is it possible to call a message box on such a low level

To me the code above seems easier than the mess at the top i just want to know if its possible to code a message box like this.


EDIT*****

Here is my idea for calling a message box it does not work could some one tell me why

I'm pretty new to coding with asm i understand asm but i don't know how to code with it.

1.sure, you can use push/call instead of invoke, the main reason is readability of code - invoke takes usually single line in text.

2.what a sense to use prefix of dll name? api names designed so their names are not repeated in different dlls in general.

You spent too much time staring at debuggers...

The dllname.Function in debuggers, is a convention in order to show the module the function is located to, in order to make your life easier locating bugs.

When you program something, you are supposed to know where the function you are about to call is located.

This is about as low as it can be:

Thanks for the info i find this lower level easier to understand then the higher level.

If i wanted to add a title and text in the msg box in your example code do i have to define the strings as var?

To start smooth with assembly, consider spending some time reading Iczelion's Tutorials.
