Changing Static Text at Runtime

In my program i have some info stored in a char... how can i have this show in my static text box?

thanks for your time

Post a 'WM_SETTEXT' message to the static control....

You can also use SetDlgItemText() if your control is on the dialog box .

Or you can use SetWindowText() which sends the message. Won't work in a dialog box or standard window as it will change the title box instead. But it works nice for buttons and static windows.

Remember to put these call in the WM_PAINT message in your winproc...

I think your thinking of DrawText or TextOut. SetWindowText, SetDlgItemText or posting a WM_SETTEXT message should NOT be done in a WM_PAINT handler.
