Hello,

I'm new here. Just started to learn Visual C++ 6 all by myself. I've just encountered a problem : The caption of the check box is not visible in my dialog window.

I've checked and rechecked the caption field (yes, i did write something there), but it just won't show up.

What can I do (to make it show)?

Thanks for any help/advice.
 
Check in the resource file and see if the length of the checkbox is big enough to sustain your caption...
I am not sure if this is the problem, your string should appear, at least truncated.

But, even if you set the caption programatically, it is a good practice to write something in the resource editor also, as the dimension of the checkbox won't adjust automatically with the length of the text (imagine what would happen with all the windows dialogs...) [red]Nosferatu[/red]
