Post by: drjr on July 10, 2007, 04:13:34 PM
The title say all. I do not know how to set a caption (string) to a label box and/or :red a text box in masm32. l(Label boxes and text boxes are used in almost al windows forms).

Realy I want to set the property caption to a static label that I have in a form.

drjr,

There are multiple methods as both members have explained to you. You need to get a valid window handle to the static control and then either send a message to it or use the API SetWindowText().

Code Select

    invcoke SendMessage,hWin,WM_SETTEXT,0,ADDR YourText

      or

    invoke SetWindowText,hWin,ADDR YourText


As ragdog suggested you can also use SendDlgItemMessage() where you use the dialog ID instead of the handle.
