Changing text in a Form during runtime

[c0y454]

Hey,

I've created a program that needs to display a repeatedly changing text.
Sadly, I have so far not been successful with that.
Ive tried using the SendMessage(HWND(IDC_Text1), UINT((LPCWSTR)L"testing"), WM_SETTEXT, 0); to update the text.
I believe my problem is that Im using a normal text box from the MS VS 2010 Toolbox.
I need to create a proper text function on the Window that the program can update when the SendMessage() or a similiar function is called.
I have used google, but I cant get a working solution.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks!

You can use SetDlgItemText function: SetDlgItemText(handle_of_window,IDC_Text1,L"text");

or if you want to use SendMessage function: SendMessage(GetDlgItem(handle_of_window,IDC_Text1),WM_SETTEXT,0,(LPARAM)"testing");

WM_SETTEXT:
