You could try a resource editor on it as well.
Other then that you would need to use something like Ollydbg.

What has this got to do with gamehacking? May I ask what this is actually for?

Well if it is on a game he messes with, then it is general Smile

Im guessing maybe trying to crack the demo?
or
Maybe it has some annoyance at the beginning not sure, im curious myself to that matter.

It`s classical exe file application, no game.I will be really very happy for some ideas how to disable this dialog box.

If the box pops at beginning of execution of this application like nag or something.
You can possibly change (OEP) Operation Entry Point and fix the problem. I have seen some reversers nop out the code causing it to pop also. But change of OEP is probably the way to go about it unless the pop is after the app is loaded.

That mention of the OEP just got my brain going. It never occured to me that the file could be packed/protected. If this is the case most resource edits and other general methods would quite simply fail, unless like Lab said, the nag/button is in the 'stub' of the app, which would make it accessible.

Attach olly and find MessageBoxA/W in user32.dll. Just have it retn and you shouldn't have any dialogue boxes come up. Although you'll probably have to fix the stack, too.

Referring to Labrynths post here:

http://forum.cheatengine.org/viewtopic.php?t=304416

about the API's used. He's right, its not MessageBoxA. The guy stated specifically about the button. He also went on to say he was a beginner, and so all this talk of 'hooking', 'fixing the stack' and so on isn't exactly helping Razz

The last post in my opinion was incorrect and the thread was going off the original topic so I locked it. I guess we carry on... Smile

I wasnt totally sure so i asked one of our team members about it.
But i had an idea that one only handled message boxes.

Altho, ill bet thats what it is instead of a dialog box. But know one knows until the application is seen.
