how to use DrawText() to write text in a given window whose handle is known?

I want to know how to write text on a particular window starting at a given location in the window using the Windows API.

For example if the coordinates within the window where the text is to be written are (x,y) = (40,10) then what do I need to do to write a line of text to a particular window at that location in the window?

Solution

Suppose your window name is "hwnd" and the text which u want to write on that window at x,y coordinate is say stored in "message" where

LPCWSTR message=L"My First Window"; then

RECT rect;
HDC wdc = GetWindowDC(hwnd);
GetClientRect (bgHandle, &rect) ;
SetTextColor(wdc, 0x00000000);
SetBkMode(wdc,TRANSPARENT);
rect.left=40;
rect.top=10;
DrawText( wdc, message, -1, &rect, DT_SINGLELINE | DT_NOCLIP  ) ;
DeleteDC(wdc);

Thats it.. remember this is just one example.
