MessageBox or MessageBoxA don't work on windows server 2003
Hi,
Anyone encounter this problem or have a solution for it.
I have been running EAs using MetaTrader 4 running on Windows Server 2003 with no major problem.
However, I have recently added MessageBox or MessageBoxA to my EA.
I realise to my horror that whenever the line of code using any of the MessageBox function is invoke, it will simply close the MetaTrader terminal.
I tried the same EA on a XP machine and the MessageBox work just fine, but the same problem above occurs consistently on both my windows server 2003 machine.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have the same problem and it's definitely related to the calling of a MessageBox--works on XP but not 2003. I am also interested in the solution and I'll let you know if I discover anything.

I've noticed that the messagebox() function now works on my server 2003 virtual server. Either one of the latest releases has fixed the problem or a patch to Windows Server 2003 has done it, or both

Fixed - See news:

Now 0 can be indicated as this value.
8. MQL4: fixed MessageBox() function operation in endless cycled scripts.
