      The function SetWindowText expect a char array, not a long. So use sprintf to convert this value into a char array:

      char szBuff[50];
      sprintf(szBuff,"%l",n);
      status->m_TOTAL_WORDS.SetWindowText(szBuff);

                        pleast look at my reply to whitesky. And Btw, you can still use ltoa for converting ints to chars. int is not something totally different from long. but Only the size ;)

                          Due to the differences in size of long and int C++ provides the seperate functions :) Knock out 'T' from CAN'T , You 'CAN' if you think you 'CAN' :cool:
