Change others application's label caption

Dear NG,
due to the european currency convertion, i'm advised to change some
programs with old currency symbols. As these label captions do not
appear in the application's hex code, I remembered that it is possible
to change one's label's caption from outside, but I did not remember
how this could be done. Possibly a question of the Label's handle? I'd
appreciate any helpful information.

Best regards
Thomas Greiner

Label captions are stored in the application's resource data. Use a resource
editor like WorkShop (comes on the Delphi cd). This will not help if you
have some hardcoded strings in the code. If that's the case, try searching
for the exact string in the exe file and replace it with a new one.
