Hey all. I have a dialog window with a progress bar, and a function that
slowly increases it. When the progress bar finishes, I want a static text
to change to "Update Finished", but to do this I need the HWND of the
dialog. Since I can't put a/the function inside the AboutDlgProc()
function, I can't get its HWND. Is there a way to do this? Thanks in
advance!

P.S. I don't really know whether or not this is already a given, but I'm
using the win32 API w/C++, not MFC.

the HWND should be in your Dlg callback :

LRESULT CALLBACK AboutDlgProc(HWND hDlg, UINT message, WPARAM wParam,
LPARAM lParam)

Thanks domi! Technically I already knew that, but you gave me an idea.
At the beginning of the file, I declared

HWND myDialog;

In the Dialogs callback, during initiation, I said that

myDialog = hwnd;

And then when I created a thread for the function

DWORD WINAPI AdvanceProgress(LPVOID lpParam) {
//some code here, just removed it...
SetDlgItemText(myDialog, IDCANCEL, "Finish");
return(0); }

And it worked! This might not be necessarily what you meant, but it
worked either way. Thanks =)
