Changing Dialog Caption at run time

[C NewBe]

Using the basic code below, I am tring to change the caption(title bar) of the Dialog at run time. It does not work for me........my environment is net 7.1,MFC. Any ideas on how to solve my problem? void SystemAlign::OnBnClickedOk() { CPropertySheet mySheet; mySheet.SetTitle(_T("Junk One"), 0); mySheet.DoModal(); }

Try SetText Method

Is SetText() a method of CPropertySheet?

SetText is not available in my environment which is net 7.1, MFC

SetWindowText() is a class member of CWnd and so will work for any window, including dialogs & propertysheets.

It does not work...

Do you mean it wont compile or nothing happens when the code executes? Can you show your code fragment. SetWindowText() is the correct method to use, there must be something else wrong.

It gives me an Unhandled exception....see code below and remember that my environment is net 7.1, MFC. void SystemAlign::OnBnClickedOk() { GetDlgItem(IDD_SYSTEM_ALIGN)->SetWindowText("Junk One"); //CPropertySheet mySheet; //mySheet.SetTitle("System: Signal-To-Noise", 0); //mySheet.DoModal(); }

This works fine in v6. It must be something specific to v7.x, or you have other code in place that is masking the problem.

SetWindowText(...) will work i suppose.

I get the same Unhandle exception by placing it in OnInitDialog(). I think it is a different method call in net 7.1......I am wasting so much time digging for such a simple problem.....

I'm calling it like this GetDlgItem(IDD_SYSTEM_ALIGN)->SetWindowText("Junk One");

[David Crow]

Which is incorrect. Remove the call to GetDlgItem().

David, It works on both ends, referencing the GetDlgItem was my problem. Thanks a lot....
