Display Text when button is click on MFC

Question

I'm totally new to c++, MFC. Currently trying out on doing a GUI with a button and to display a "hello world" text when the button is pressed. How i can do it?

THANKS

If you're okay with the text being displayed in a new window, it's really easy: just use the MessageBox function. MFC might have a special way to do this, but the raw Windows API function for that is pretty easy, too. — icktoofay

Here's a tutorial on MFC:

Basically, you need to:

1) Create a button and an edit field or label (resource editor)

2) Define an "OnClick" event handler (class editor)

3) "SetWindowText()" on the label in your event handler
