Hi all,

Maybe this is a newbie question but how to change the name of a window/caption of an external program like winzip or something else that isn't written in auto it.

thanks in advance

It works for me, remember it will only work in active windows.

Show us what you tried.

Hmm, I believe it will also work on windows that aren't necessarily active.

Here's some code that renames the Calculator window (it works!):

Run('Calc')
WinWait('Calculator')
WinSetTitle('Calculator', '', 'Klackulator')

By active I mean the program must be running. It cannot be renamed so that it will always start with a new title.
