    Hello all. I have a button in my program, IDC_PROCESSFILE. I want to change the text of this button on the fly. I have a checkbox, when the user hits a checkbox, I want to tie to the check/uncheck event to change the text on the button. IE. You can click "Process multiple files" checkbox, when you click that checkbox, I want to change the button to say "Process files" instead of "Process file" ... Just wondering if this is possible? I do know how to tie to the check/uncheck event, just do not know how to change the text of a button. Thanks Shultas

          I believe this is what u're looking 4: CWnd* pWnd = GetDlgItem(IDC_PROCESSFILE); pWnd->SetWindowText(_T("Process file")); What would life be without programmers and salesmen?
