When i create a dialog box and use static text how can i change the text of it while the program is running? I have a progress control and i just want there to be a couple of words next to the control telling the user what the program is currently doing. Any help is most appreciated. Thanks

HWND hwndStaticTextWnd = GetDlgItem(hwndDLG,ID_STATICTEXTID);
SendMessage(hwndStaticTextWnd,WM_SETTEXT,0,(LPARAM)"New Text");

There''s actually a SetWindowText() function that you can use also.
