Hello everybody,

I'm a new member to this forum, but have browsed before - and of course, gotten lots of helpful information. So in advance, I just wanted to say thanks to all you who are way smarter than I. I'm a somewhat experienced programmer, but never anything big in Visual C++ before.

Here's my problem. I have to have a program done tomorrow, which I'm in pretty good shape on, except for one thing. I want to be able to display a string of data somewhere on my dialog box. I need something really simple, it doesn't have to do anything but show up. Let's say for instance I have a very simple dialog box with one button. If that button is clicked, I want "Hello World!" to be displayed somewhere (not a new window).

I know this is an easy question, but it's late, and I'm feeling stupid. I am using Visual C++ 6.0.

Thank you in advance for any help.

I'd be happy to help, but I am only familiar with Borland C++ Builder's designer. Try searching the Microsoft Developer Network at www.msdn.com

Do I use a list box???

Hi,

you can do this in just 2 lines of code...
////////////////////////////////////
CClientDC dc(this);
dc.DrawText("Hellow Window",CRect(0,0,50,50),DT_CENTER );
///////////////////////////////////////
write this code in your button handling function.

Best Regards,

You can also just use a static text item, and change it on the fly at need.
