<div>
The following lines must be placed in your CDialog object<br />
(perhaps in the OnStartStop handler function):<br />
<br />
CString newCaption;<br />
// set newCaption to the desired text<br />
GetDlgItem(ID_START_STOP)-<wbr />&gt;SetWindow<wbr />Text(newCa<wbr />ption);<br />
<br />
I would suggest that you re-open this question with 50 points - 100 points are really much for<br />
this question :) :) :)<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I'm pretty new to MFC, and I have the following problem:<br />
<br />
I simply want to change the the caption of a pushbutton so that when the user clicks it, the text changes from &quot;Start&quot; to &quot;Stop&quot;or vice versa. I don't want to use bitmaps, and I don't want to create two buttons and show/hide them - I would like to learn how to programatically change the text of just one button.<br />
<br />
In an MFC created dialog-based app called MyTest, with classes MyTest and MyTestDlg, and a pushbutton called &nbsp;ID_START_STOP, how do I implement this feature ? <br />
<br />
Thanks a lot,<br />

Setting pushbutton caption

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
