Newbie needs simple help

[tpmoody]

Not too new, just haven't written any Windows code in four years. I now have a job with Visual Studio .NET 2003 and I am trying to get up-to-speed. All I need for now is this: I have a dialog program I am creating with a button. I want to click the button and have text displayed in a static text box. I was an easy Hello World program but am stumped. I am the only one here at work so I have no support base. I have created the dialog, the button and the static text box. I have added an event handler for the button, I just do not know how to print out text into this static box. I have created CString displayMyString = "Hello Cruel World"; and would like that to be diplayed. No, I am not a student, just a solo employee that is struggling to re-learn the little I knew about MFC and Window programming.

Take a read-only edit box (w/o a border, for example) instead of a static text box, then use common SetWindowText() via a pointer obtained with GetDlgItem(IDC_...) in OnButton handler.
May be it helps...
