How to change a caption of any window
-
I creat a button, and from the classwizard I chose BN_Clicked and I add function. then I click edit code and write SetWindowText(hWnd,"My Text");... so it will be void CAdfadfhgDlg::OnButton1() { SetWindowText(hWnd,"My Text"); } I think i am doing something wrong... right?

hWndparameter. It's not needed since you are already in the context of the dialog. That will fix that particular compiler error.

FindWindow()as has already been mentioned.

Unless the title of
CAdfadfhgDlgis "Title of program", the code you have should work. Dody_DK wrote: SetWindowText(hWnd,"My Text"); I assume thathWndis supposed to behwnd. Yes?

Yes hWnd = hwnd, but i deleted it also as you said and used
SetWindowText("My Text");I have tried to do it with many programs.... but it didn't work...hmmmm I hope that you have other selution... thanks alot ;)Dody_DK wrote: SetWindowText("My Text"); This is obviously not going to work as the function is being called in the context of your dialog. The net result being that your dialog's caption gets changed. Perhaps you should explain what you are actually trying to do. If we knew the whole story, we could make more informed suggestions.
