The easiest way to display text on a window is to use the edit control that
is built into Windows.

If you start a new project and choose the SDI doc/view skeleton you can
change the view base class (in the final App Wizard screen) to CEditView and
you will have what you need: A main window that contains an edit control.

If you want to stay with what you have (non doc/view) then you can create
your own edit control and make it fill the main window. Use a CEdit member
variable in your main window and call its Create function in the main
window's OnCreate. The edit control won't be the right size, so fix that in
the main window's WM_SIZE message handler by resizeing the edit control to
match the main window client rectangle.

hi,i'm new to MFC(1-2 days) so i don't event know what exactly i need to
search on web for my problem

i create a window with a menu
when i select file/edit from the menu it runs a dialog
after editing the dialog and press ok it executes a function,and closes
the
dialog

well i need that function to write to the window(like a normal printf)
so if anyone can tell me how with an example?
also a function that delete everything until then (like a clrscr) will be
nice

don't think it matters but the the classes are declared :
the window class is "class MFC_Window :public CFrameWnd"
the dialog is "class edit : public CDialog"

i managed to write to a console with
AllocConsole();
_cprintf("message");//like a normal print

but i don't want to use console unless i have to

anyway thx for reading this and have a nice day
