setwindowtext problem

[cellpeter]

ok i am wondering how to add data to an existing title bar without the title bar itself overlapping when using the WM_TIMER event

here is the code that i am using

void CJokDlg::OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent)
{
CString time;
CWnd* tyu = GetForegroundWindow();
tyu->GetWindowText(time);

tyu->SetWindowText(time + "testing");
CDialog::OnTimer(nIDEvent);
}

thanks for any replies

Try saving the original title in the InitDialog then concatenate "time" to that title when you want to change the title. That way, the title never changes: only the time changes.
