Rui,

I'm not sure I understand the question. I think the obvious answer would be to create two resource definitions that differ only in the dialog caption. Guybrush's suggestion would probably be easier, and if you did it from the WM_INITDIALOG handler, since WM_INITDIALOG is sent before the dialog is displayed, the original caption would never be seen.

Hi Rui, if you are tinkering with multiple languages, may I suggest trying GoASM. GoASM will allow UNICODE string literals inside the code. Please see its documentation for more details.

What do you mean with two different captions?

Another elegant way to build bilingual apps is an init file built as follows:

[Dlg_EN]
mt=MyTitle
mc1=My first control

[Dlg_FR]
mt=Mon titre
mc1=Mon premier control

The read/write privateprofile functions are pretty easy to implement. You just specify the section name, and loop through the individual control strings.

Guybrush, MichaelW, Mark, jj2007:

         Thank you for your helps
         
I have 2 functions that i can call from the menu (iten1 and iten2).
Both begin calling the same dialog box to choose some params. used by both
But i want to know from where i call it
(from iten1 then one caption; from iten2 another caption)

MichaelW,
         i havent tried yet «SetWindowText, hWnd, pCaption»
         but i think your help works: using it in WM_INITDIALOG
         thank you  :U

        EDIT: it works, problem solved. Thanks
