Drawing labels on a window

[chrishowarth]

DC and hWnd is two different things! DC is associated to window if you want to display text on hWnd you can do something like that:

  HDC hDC =::GetDC( hWnd );
  ::TextOut(hDC,,,,,,);
  ::ReleaseDC(hWnd,hDC);

Cheers

I've implemented the code:

HDC DC =::GetDC(hwnd);
::TextOut(DC,10,10,"text",-1);

        /*Set Labels*/
        /*Status bar*/

        Status = CreateWindowEx(0, STATUSCLASSNAME, NULL,
                                WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | SBARS_SIZEGRIP, 0, 0, 0, 0,
                                hwnd, (HMENU)STATUS_BAR, GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL);

        SendMessage(Status, SB_SETTEXT, 0, (LPARAM)"Open a file for editing.");

        /*Set focus*/
        SetFocus(EditTitle);

        /*Other*/

        case WM_COMMAND: //etc...

And I get this error: jump to case label
