Hello! I'm seeking for a method to change the caption of a dialog box. I have looked a bit into other programs doing this, but wasn't able to gather the infos needed. I believe these programs' captions point to a string, and if the string changes, the caption changes too on redraw.

Is there a way i can do this with fasm using the resource-section to create the dialog which uses a pointer to a string as caption?

Thank you!

maybe this...

Code:

invoke SendMessage,[hHandleOfYourDlg],WM_SETTEXT,0,szPointerToYourString

or, if you intend to have multiple different captions, simply store the address of the relevant string in a pointer...

Code:

invoke SendMessage,[hHandleOfYourDlg],WM_SETTEXT,0,[newCaption]
