int main() {
  /*
  usage example: 
  MsgBox("Your title", "Your description", "the type of icon", "the-buttons"); 
  
  Available options:
  Type: warn, info, question, error
  
  warning - displays an exclamation-point icon in the message box.
  information - displays an icon consisting of a lowercase letter i in a circle inside of the message box.
  question - displays a question-mark icon inside of the message box..
  error - displays a stop-sign icon in the message box.
  
  Buttons: ok, ok-cancel, yes-no, yes-no-cancel, retry-cancel, cancel-retry-continue, help, abort-retry-ignore
  
  The buttons all are descriptive enough, the option 'help' adds a Help button to the message box. When the user clicks the Help button or presses F1, the system sends a WM_HELP message to the owner.
