Increase the size of Static Text Control

i think that 256 character limit is due to the resource editor, not to the abilities of the static control itself. try setting the text with m_myStaticControl.SetWindowText("..."); Cleek | Image Toolkits | Thumbnail maker

you can change font from static control

"Increase the size of Static Text Control " Yes I did it, and i saw that Text when i design, But when i compile my program, the compiler display a warning : "title string too long; truncated at 256" and then i runed my program,: only 256 first character is displayed. Why ???

you can declare one font with createfont and then assign this font to control in this parameter from createfont you can set size from font
