Changing Dialog Caption at run time

[David Crow]

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....
