What video message, to print on anything, you need the Window handle (control or window), then you can use GetDC(WindowHandle) to retrieve the device context handle, and then you can draw on it using TextOut/DrawText etc. APis.

My message are information on calculation.
I see ::GetDC(NULL) retrieve the DC for the entire screen, client area.
Someone have sample code? Or link to sample code?

Look into MSDN for TextOut, DrawText.
