If you want Greek characters ONLY, it's a simple as setting the font name for your control to the appropriate font. I believe the SYMBOL font is part of the standard Windows installation and it has a full Greek character set. If you want mixed Greek in with normal characters you might have to create a bitmap with the desired text and use that "picture" as your caption.

The problem is that our Windows is Spanish, and we want to display Greek characters in our application.
We prefer not to use bitmaps for this, and we suppose there will be another easier way for doing it, but we don't know how.

Actually there are fonts with both Roman and Greek letters. Of course you need to make sure that if you're distributing your program, the font you're using is available on the customer's computer. To get a suitable font, you might have to search, however. I was just checking on my computer and there's none installed. I suspect that there are some for use in scientific writing or perhaps on religious sites. I'd do a web search and see what you can come up with. Dave Dardinger
