Intentional or not intentional, it simply irritates the majority of the 'grown-up' population. I am not sending an SMS to an old peer of mine, I'm answering a query on an programming board, that hundreds of professionals from around the world read every day. So, I would be very careful on how I present myself here. This is off-topic and I won't discuss further on this.

it is not working coz i will have to refer to child window first. how can i refer to child window? i hv implmented as: IRCNewSim* ptr1=NULL; Markcorr* ptr2=NULL; ptr1=(IRCNewSim*)AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd; ptr2=(Markcorr*)ptr1->GetActiveWindow(); ptr2->SetWindowText("Tower1 Scanner1"); thanks

Waht was return value of SetWindowText?

puppya

appl is getting crashed and control is going into Setwindowtext void CWnd::SetWindowText(LPCTSTR lpszString) { ASSERT(::IsWindow(m_hWnd)); if (m_pCtrlSite == NULL) ::SetWindowText(m_hWnd, lpszString); else m_pCtrlSite->SetWindowText(lpszString); } m_hwnd is showing as NULL

Hamid Taebi

So I think your problem is of hwnd ptr2.

puppya

ok... do u hv any other suggetion abt how can i implement this by some other method? or can u give me some demo of this type of application? i will b very much greatful to u

Are you wanting to set the window text of the 3rd dialog dynamically? In that case, you could pass it as a parameter to the constructor of the 3rd dialog class and have a string member variable initialized with that value and then call SetWindowText() in InitDialog(). That sounds viable?

How did you create your child dialog?

Call SetWindowText() from within its OnInitDialog() method.

void CFdView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC) { CFdDoc* pDoc = GetDocument(); ASSERT_VALID(pDoc); // TODO: add draw code for native data here this->GetDocument()->SetTitle("your title"); }

child dialog means after clicking on button i will display 1 more dialog. i want to change title of this dialog at run time.
