So what are you needing help with? Responding to a button click? Writing text onto an image? Saving text? Be specific.

Via the keyboard or code?

Then I'd imagine you would create an edit control at runtime. One of the arguments passed to CreateWindow() is the x/y coordinate of the control. I assume this would be near to where you'd want the "label" to be.

First, what sort of indicator are you wanting for knowing when to add the label to the image? For example, are you going to be right-clicking on the image and then bringing up a context menu (with Add Label as one of the choices)?

Are you using VC++ with .Net? If so you can use a form designer, it's relatively easy. If you're using ATL or MFC, then things maybe be a little more complicated.

on a static text control how do you display special characters like a '&', i.e. "Time & Date Menu".

cheers,

Because that would underline the blank space after & as a possible key accelerator:

Time <span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span>Date Menu

You can also use the SS_NOPREFIX style on your static control.
