              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?

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