Allow2010 Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Hi all, how can i cahange the title of my gui? I found WinSetTitle, but i would rather like to use the window handle to make sure i always use the right window... is this possible?
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted January 12, 2012 Moderators Posted January 12, 2012 Hi, Allow2010. Can you be a little more specific - are you trying to change the title of a child window or the main? Maybe post part of your code? When using GUICreate to create your main window, the first option is title - so you should be able to set it here, unless I misunderstand what you're after. #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> Local $msg GUICreate("This is my Title", 300, 300) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop WEnd GUIDelete() "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.

BrewManNH Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 In the help file, look at the description for WinSetTitle, and follow the link called "Title special definition". That shows you how to use the window handle with the WinSetTitle function. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

UEZ Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Try this: $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 300, 150) $idButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Change Win Title", 100, 50, 100, 40) GUISetState() Do Switch GUIGetMsg() Case -3 Exit Case $idButton $new = InputBox("New Title", "Enter a new windows title") If Not @error Then WinSetTitle($hGUI, "", $new) EndSwitch Until 0 Br, UEZ Please don't send me any personal message and ask for support!

Allow2010 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) hey thats easy...you can just use the winhandle insted of using text in WinSetTitle like this WinSetTitle($hGUI, "", "Status: OK") this is a bit hidden in the explaination...would be nice if the helpfile could just state that the first parameter can be title or handle :-) edit: sorry, found it out from the helpfile just as you posted:-) Thanks!
