Hello, I am trying to make a dialog that shows a status of what is going on at the time. I have the code set aside for that part, but now I would like to know how to set test in an edit box and add a few lines and show what is happening next? Is it possible to do that, for example: Edit Box: --------------------------------- |Saving file such and such to c:\| --------------------------------- Then after that one is done and the next file saves, Edit Box: Saving file such and such to c: Saving next file to c: So simply just adding lines to an edit box, how would I do that?

You will have to read in the text currently in the edit then append "\r\n" and your text then set the new text as the text of the window.

Wrong, thats inefficient.

Consult this Google Groups post for a basic how-to.
