    I think you would have to use the function:

    SetDlgItemText

    I pretty sure that's what it is. Give that a try and tell me how it works.

    It did except I switched to SetDlgItemInt instead of Text, but thanks for the idea. Also I was wondering: What's the difference in using TEXT("blah balh") and just "blah blah"? Thanks!

    >> What's the difference in using TEXT("blah balh") and just "blah blah <<

    You see, the TEXT macro is Unicode supported. So, if you are using Unicode then the TEXT macro is "internally" deleted. But, the TEXT macro is needed in Unicode.

    You can just use "blah blah" in Unicode, but then the system will internally have to translate that and that is time. Expensive time.

    You're better off using TEXT macro.
