<snip>.. But what intrigued me is that text was displayed all the same...

This makes me think that your subclassing did not work. If you want, you can
still post a small working sample.

WM_PAINT paints the text.

SetWindowText and SetDlgItemText are the low level functions for storing
text.
I've never needed anything else.

Give the controls you want to work with an ID (see the hMenu param of
CreateWindow[Ex])
Then use GetDlgCtrlID in the WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC handler to get the ID back.

Hope that helps
