Changing Static Label Text Dynamically 3

[drizet]

I created a dialog box that resembles a prompt dialog box from Motif. In Motif, the label I created for the text edit box is an actual resource which can be changed dynamically. I use this feature so that the user knows which other control has activated the prompt dialog.

The only thing I found to simulate the label is a static text control. Can I chnage this label dynamically or do I need to create a non-user editable text box without a border?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

You can change the label text using the SetDlgItemText function.

Hope that helps.

Hello!

Your label Id = IDC_MYLABEL
Then:
GetDlgItem(IDC_MYLABEL)->SetWindowText("Testing my label"

Hi Scott,

Both of the Above are true.

Your Label ID = IDC_MYLABEL :

You can use
SetDlgItemText(IDC_LABEL, _T("My New Text Goes here&quot);
as well as
GetDlgItem(IDC_MYLABEL)->SetWindowText(_T("My New Text Goes here&quot);
