Thread: HDC of a child window

Hello

My title may sound weird because I have no idea if there is such a thing like HDC of a child (static) window or the only HDC is available for main window.

If yes how do I retrieve the handle I tried already

Code:

HDC hChildWindowDC;

hChildWindowDC = GetDC(hWnd_ChildWindow);

But this apparantly didnt work. Is there some other way?

Why do I need this? Basically I need to put some text on the child static window but I dont want to create other child static windows so I need to retrieve the handle.
If there is better how to solve this please tell me

Thank you
