I did a Win32 / MFC 4.0 program recently where I set up a modeless
dialog box, and depending on the user input, read a disk data file
and plugged the variable data into the various controls on the dialog
box. I used something like the following to send a the contents of
a buffer to a static control on the dialog:


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

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


Excuse my confused descriptions, it's been a while since I've done any
OS/2 PM programming and I may have used "Windows" terminology in trying
to describe what I want to do...

How would I go about doing something similar in an OS/2 PM program?
ie: create a single "empty" dialog box in the resource script, and
then, depending on the user's menu item selection, read a certain
disk data file and plug it into the "empty" controls of the dialog box?

I haven't really started researching (via FAQs, RTFM, etc.), but figured
if I could get an idea on where to start looking, or pointers to existing
source code examples (maybe a short "Hello World" style program), it'd
save a bit of cyber-leg work.
