WinDrawText() or GpiCharString(),  during your WM_PAINT message.

Here's a small sample program.  So that the text is re-cenetered when you
change the size of the Window,  I have created a window with the
CS_SIZEREDRAW style.  Normally,  I don't use CS_SIZEREDRAW,  since this
requires the whole client area to be redrawn (this would be slow if you
were dispalying a bitmap,  for example).
