I want to change the name of a button in my
plugins GUI. I tried:

SetString(IDC_BUTTON, "New Text");

Nothing happens.
Do I need to add an Event or is that
late change simply not possible?

You can change it ...
But as you said ... in an event that you wish ...

Let's say .. there is a code in CreateLayout function ...

//In CreateLayout
AddButton(BTN_RENAME,0,100,10,"Rename");

And then in Command function ...

//In Command
switch(id)
{
   case BTN_RENAME:
   {
      SetString(BTN_RENAME,"NewName");
   }
   break;
}

If nothing happens ... please make it sure you didn't use the id of the button to other controls ..
Sometimes it may happen like below ..

#define BTN_RENAME 1111

AddStaticText(1111,....
AddButton(BTN_RENAME,....

Hope it can help you ...

Thanks for the help,
but I already did it this way, except,
that the button isn't added at runtime,
but generated with the Resource-Editor,
as recommended by the API doc.

Changing another static text (also pre-
defined) works.

This was my fault,
one shouldn't use an ID (IDC_NAME)
for a button and a group-id.
An ID should be unique in the *.res
file.

Ok, this was trivial, but just in case
someone finds my question after biting
in the carpet with a similiar problem...
