Inclusde the masm32 macro file and you can use all of them.

If its just a quick messagebox thing, you could base it on the CTEXT macro found in the MASM32: (masm32\macros\macros.asm)

Code Select Expand

CTEXT macro Text
    local szText
    .data
    szText byte Text, 0
    .code
    exitm <offset szText>   
endm

Code Select Expand

TextMsg MACRO Text
LOCAL __TextMsg_buff
.data
__TextMsg_buff db Text,0
.code
invoke MessageBox,hWin,addr__TextMsg_buff,addr dbMsg_Capt,MB_OK
EXITM <eax>
ENDM

with your dbMsg_Capt db 'Caption',0 being defined in the main .data section of your asm file.
