            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.

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