Simple VC1.51 Questions

Hi,

I am using VC1.51 to interface to an old 16 bit application in order to retrieve some data. I have successfully done the data manipulation functions, but I now need to fix up some User Interface issues.

1) I need some sort of status printing to let the user know what I am doing behind the scenes, I have tried a dialog but I can't get a pump messages routine to work efficetively. Anyone have any suggestions on how I can display a status message, Even a progress bar would be fine.

2) I have used the default Windows Application app wizard as when I started this I was not (and are still in the process of learning) API techniques. Does anyone know how to get rid of the untitled caption on the mainframe.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
