Hi David,
I was in a hurry when I responded this morning and as usual pay a price.
Chip is correct and in my Cuckoo Clock program I set the time of an alarm using
the Static Text area.
I set that text when i move into the dialog and it is inside a group and
there are 2 groups and one for hour and another for minute.
So the Group label is based on the text area and is what you need. So your
group surrounds that entire area and the Static Label stays there inside that
group.
I have below a copy of what I had placed in the dialog inside my xml file
which has several dialogs to choose from.
So as I had said, get the main dialog ID for that static text area and just
write to that area while you are on the fly.

<dialog id="myTimeDialog" sysmenu="yes" minimize="no">
Edit Time
<group orientation="vertical" width="250" id="grp_timervalues">
<static id="txt_cmb_hour" width="group" shortcut="h"> Hour </static>
<group orientation="vertical">

</group>
<static id="txt_cmb_minute" width="group" shortcut="m"> Minute </static>

</group>
<static id="txt_cmb_AmPm" shortcut="t" enabled="no"> AM or PM </static>

</group>
<group>
<button id="btn_combo_save" widthclass="btn"> Save </button>
<button id="btn_combo_cancel" widthclass="btn" width="+10"> Cancel </button>
</group>
</group>
</dialog>

Subject: Changing the Group Text on the fly, for a dialog
Hey guys,
I have a Dialog, with several Groups defined and setup in the XML file. All
that is great, and I have entered an individual ID for each Group. So, for
instance, I will have the following Group IDs:
Group_RetrieveInfo
Group_SaveInfo
Group_ExitingControls
Ok, what I want to do, is to change the Text property of one of the Groups -
dynamically within my code. That is, based on some other activity and the state
of some of the controls in the dialog, I want - let's say - the Text property
of Group_SaveInfo to change. At one point, it could be set to "Personal", and
at another case, it could be set to "Publicly".
I have tried the following inside my EventHandler function, but keep getting
an error. Guess, because the Group is not part of the Control collection. But
then, what is the correct syntax, please?
' Code Snip-it:
If DObj.Control( "Checkbox_Personal" ).Checked Then
DObj.Control( "Group_SaveInfo" ).Text = "Personal" ' This line
gives an error, that the DObj.Control is not valid.
Else
DObj.Control( "Group_SaveInfo" ).Text = "General Public"
End If
' Snip-it concludes.
Thanks for any corrections you may have for the above.
Regards,
David
