Entering normal text into window box!

[Shiv4life]

I know this sounds dumb...but i am a newbie at windows programming...
I have looked into many tutorials...but still do not understand it...
How can you put text into the actual box...not the title?
Is it possible to put in any other C++ coding so you can put in a small "guess-the-number-game" that i created? If yes...how?
I appreciate any help...i want to become good at windows programming...
If anyone knows how to put text in a box...can u then give a sample code please?
Thanks in advance...

Use TextOut() or DrawText().

In your WM_PAINT handler:

PAINTSTRUCT ps;
HDC hdc;
hdc = BeginPaint(hwnd,&ps);
TextOut(hdc,0,0,"hi there",8);
EndPaint(hwnd,&ps);

The "box" is called the "client" area. And as stated above, you would most likely do it in WM_PAINT.
