I posted a message a week or so back asking for help with a
certain area of PM programming, but I'm not sure if that message
ever got out (I didn't get any responses...). 

Anyway, I got a couple of responses on Internet telling me to use
the following "equivalents" to do what I wanted to do:

Windows/MFC code                       OS/2 PM/C code
==================================================================
GetDlgItem()                         WinWindowFromID(hwnd,ID)
SetWindowText()                      WinSetWindowText(hwnd,string)

What I'm trying to do is to set up an "empty" modeless dialog box 
(with static strings assigned a resource ID number) and then, depending
on what the user of the program picks from menu items, send certain
data and "plug it into" the various fields on the
"empty" modeless dialog 
box. Under Windows/MFC I used the following code to do this sort of thing:

// ID_CONTROL is the resource ID of the control, buf[0] is the buffer

char *string[] = "New string for dialog";

((CStatic *)GetDlgItem(ID_CONTROL))->SetWindowText(string[0]);

I've experimented with the equivalents in a Hello World style PM 
program and I can't seem to get it to do what I want it to do. In 
fact, it doesn't work at all (I know it's probably something I'm 
doing wrong, but I'm flying blind here...)

One major problem is, I don't have a working example of how to set
up a MODELESS dialog in an OS/2 PM program. I also don't have any 
(working) examples of how to actually impliment these suggestions.
I've looked around on Internet, but haven't seen anything that does
what I want to do (I've seen actual programs do what I want to do,
though, so I figure it can be done, somehow ).

Does anyone have either a Hello World example of doing a modeless dialog
in a PM program, or an example of how to use these PM equivalents to
do something even remotely like I want to do? Or is there other, easier
methods to go about doing this kind of thing? 

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Even a pointer to some Internet 
online resource or FAQ file. Sorry to be such a clueless newby...
