What you can do is set the text of your static control whenever something changes in the EditBox. Here how to do that: 1) Go to class wizzard and add a handler function for the 'change text' message (I don't remember which message exactly. 2) In this handler function Retrieve the text of your EditBox (GetWindowText) and calculate his length (with strlen). 3) Format this value in a new string (with sprintf) and set the text of the static control (SetWindowText)

Handle the EN_CHANGE message on Edit Box :- here is handller and IDC_EDIT1 is ID of Edit Box and IDC_STATIC_TEST is ID of the static box.

void CNegCtrlDlg::OnChangeEdit1()
{
CString str;
this->GetDlgItemText(IDC_EDIT1,str);

// Set number of the charecter in static box'
SetDlgItemInt(IDC_STATIC_TEXT,str.GetLength());

}
