How do I make a window have a default text input???

[TheProgramer]

Hi,
I am making a program with multiple windows. In the main window, you can have multiple other windows. How do I make the smaller windows have a default text input? Now theeey just load as a plain white box, but I want them to have a default text input.
Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!

What kind of application is it? If it's using MFC adding controls to views isn't all that hard. You can make a view based on CFormView (which has a dialog template) and design it as you do with dialogs in general.

>Now theeey just load as a plain white box

Not sure what you mean by "load" and "plain white box".

The program loads an empty box.

I still dont understand what "load" means. Could you tell us somthing about your application? Is it MFC, pure win32? Perhaps show the code displaying/creating the windows.

if I understand you rigt, you need SetWindowText
and don't forget about rtfm and stwf instead of posting a lot of smart questions

Where do I put it? In the .cpp file for my child frame, chldfrm.cpp? If so, what part do I put it in? I am new to this. Please Help.

you can call SetWindowText everywhere since that windows is already created and you get the HWND of that.

I do not understand what you mean? Everytime I put

SetWindowText;

or

SetWindowText();

I get an error saying it is missing argument list? What do I put in the argument list?

I don't do much MFC, but ...

see MSDN:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...vcmfc98/html/_mfc_cwnd.3a3a.setwindowtext.asp

There example starts with:

// set the text in IDC_MYEDIT
CWnd* pWnd = GetDlgItem(IDC_MYEDIT);
pWnd->SetWindowText(_T("Hockey is best!"));
...
etc.
