Use GetParent() from the Child Dialog. GetParent()->SetWindowText("New title");:-D

I have a Text control on parent dialog box its ID is say IDC_TEXT1 & its Caption is "MY NAME". I want to change its caption from its another child dialog box file. When I click on child TAB page then parent IDC_TEXT1 caption should change to "NEW NAME". Thanks -Ramesh

((CYourDialogClass*)GetParent())->GetDlgItem(IDC_TEXT1)->SetWindowText("NEW NAME");

Thanks I have already tried that, but Child dialog box file not getting patent Text ID Is it possible to use Notification message from child to parent to change the parent Text property caption. If it is possible, Please let me know.

Is the child dialog a model dialog or modeless dialog ? If its a modeless, did you pass the the parent window to the modeless dialog ?
