I have several CText static text areas on a dialog in my application. &nbsp;I'm trying to change the text contained within them when certain events occur. &nbsp;Specifically, I'm trying to print the name of the file opened to the static text control. &nbsp;I have all the code in place to give me the filename from CFileDialog, but cannot implement the change to the static text controls. &nbsp;I previously did this with edit boxes, but I would like to convert to static texts for a more polished look. &nbsp;I was thinking along the lines of getting a pointer to the control and using *ptr-&gt;SetWindowText(str_Te<wbr />xt) but was unable to do it. &nbsp;I would appreciate any help offered. &nbsp;Thanks in advance.
