RE: window controls

But that ends up using a SetWindowText? Good :) by the way, what did you do
about about OpenGL returning unsigned char strings? I can never figure out
what to do in simple cases like that. There does not seem to be a quick easy
way to go to a TCHAR string...

Well, no. I recoded the concept of dialog-box and control, so my controls
are child window of a main window (say its class is called DialogTemplate).
Every control are based on a common class called say, Control (these are not
the actual names I used in the current project I work on, but there's no way
to complicate my answer with the true names which are more obscure...), and
are simply child window of the main window. The DialogTemplate and Control
classes are derived from a common class, call it Window ( :) ), so the
methods to allow the dialog-box navigation through the Control list are
implemented in the DialogTemplate class (you know, the WS_TABSTOP, the
WS_GROUP etc...) because I no longer use the Windows dialog-boxes... my code
look like this:

DialogTemplate*    tpt;

Static*    ctrl    = tpt->FromId(IDC_STATIC_TEXT);
//Retrieve the control of id IDC_STATIC_TEXT, which is a first-child window
of the DialogTemplate object
if (ctrl)     ctrl->SetText(String("Some Vendor"));
//The method Window::SetText use the ::SetWindowText Win32 function (for the
static-box)
