    I need to put MUIA_Clock_Hour attribute value, which is of LONG type, into a MUIA_Text_Contents attribute.
    MUIA_Text_Contents attiribute takes only STRPTR value type. Puting it in a straight way gives strange results.
    I tried to convert that value but I finally gave up.

    I miss draggable screens... and do you? I know I'm in a minority unfortunately.

    You could use MUIA_String_Integer, MUIV_TriggerValue as destination of your notification.

    Didn't know I can use StringObject attribute as a TextObject attribute (?)

    Well, you could simply create a non editable string gadget with text object look.

    Another solution, not involving trickery is to convert LONG to text and set it. As Text object creates internal copy of string passed, we can use a local variable for conversion. Assuming 'x' is a variable containing the value:

    Code:
    char buffer[12];    // LONG gives no more than 11 characters, so always fits

    NewRawDoFmt("%ld", RAWFMTFUNC_STRING, buffer, x);
    SetAttrs(obj, MUIA_Text_Contents, buffer, TAG_END);

    Where to find this function? Is it from standard C library? Should I include somethin extra?

    In the meanwhile I found that there is nice mui class called Numeric.mui, but I didn't managed to include it. Couldn't find where is the header of it to include. Found only NumericString_mcc.h and NumericList_mcc.h

    @r-tea:

    It is in exec.library, so you include <proto/exec.h> (which you probably already have in the code) and <exec/rawfmt.h> (for RAWFMTFUNC_STRING definition).

    In the meanwhile I found that there is nice mui class called Numeric.mui, but I didn't managed to include it.

    This is a built-in class. No need to include anything extra. By the way, Numeric class is an abstract class, it means one cannot create an instance of it, only of derived classes. Derived classes include Slider and NumericButton.

    I had some problems to compile with this function, and I found another, and a way easiest solution.
    I use MUIM_SetAsString :-)
    Code:
    DoMethod(muiclock, MUIM_Notify, MUIA_Clock_Second, MUIV_EveryTime, tx_clock, 4, MUIM_SetAsString, MUIA_Text_Contents, "Secs: %ld", MUIV_TriggerValue);
