Unless I can see your code, I will not be able to tell why your code crashes.
But it can be done easily:
 
I do not know in what view you wanted to draw the double. In a simple case I
would use sprintf() to print it in a c-string and the put it into a TStaticText
(which works fine with the CStr255-Constructors):
 
char    buffer [32];    // should be enough
sprintf (buffer,"%Lf",myDouble);
aStaticText -> SetText(buffer,kRedraw);
 
If you want to care about international numbering you should use FormatX2Str().
I Implemented a class TExtendedText which works quite similar to TNumberText
(but has been used only once until now). Mail me if you are interested in
the sources.
