I would like to write the number of records completed into the edit field.
For now it writes but it is not shown.

How could I do?

Thanks

This blocks you code
WaitForSingleObject(_hThread,INFINITE) ;
Small example:#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#include <windows.h>

INT_PTR CALLBACK MainDlgProc(HWND hwndDlg, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);
void OnInitDialog(HWND hwndDlg);
void StartStopThr(HWND hwndDlg);

DLGTEMPLATE Dlg = {WS_POPUPWINDOW|WS_CAPTION|WS_VISIBLE|DS_3DLOOK|DS_CENTER,0,0,0,0,200,100};
DWORD DlgFill[2] = {0}; // for dialog, must be here after template in this example
HANDLE hThread1;
BOOL bRun;

int __cdecl WinMainCRTStartup(void)
{
ExitProcess(DialogBoxIndirectParam(GetModuleHandle(NULL), (LPDLGTEMPLATE)&Dlg, 0, MainDlgProc, 0));
}

return 0;

Thank you for the answer.

I made a thread to display the count but it does not show anything. I don't understand.

Here is my project.

Could you help me... again, please.
