The HDC, to be precise. Anyway, that is very different from what you said, then misattributed to Joe for having said. The distinction was the point of the exercise. http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.vc.mfc/tree/browse_frm/thread/c84953c13066a4f3/4b4e98102ea69979?hl=en&rnum=11&_done=%2Fgroup%2Fmicrosoft.public.vc.mfc%2Fbrowse_frm%2Fthread%2Fc84953c13066a4f3%3Fhl%3Den%26#doc_4b4e98102ea69979

This makes me very good at architectural (and other levels of) design, and lousy at debugging someone else's code. I really can't stand debugging my own code, that is why I take very extreme measures to prevent bugs from occurring in the first place. I carefully design every single line of code, and check the design many times before I even try to compile it. Most of the code that I write mostly works the first time with only the most trivial logic errors.

For all practical purposes, NONE. It is really bad style to write directly on a dialog box. If you want text on a dialog box, place a static control there and use SetWindowText to tell it what to display. Developing the style of writing directly to a dialog box surface will eventually uncover a large set of problems, none of which you want to deal with. joe On Tue, 23 Mar 2010 14:54:04 -0500, "Peter Olcott" <NoSpam(a)OCR4Screen.com> wrote: >What are the options for directly writing text to a >DialogBox? > Joseph M.
