WinSetTitle for third party software

[JohnNash 0]

I am using WinSetTitle to add a word to titles of windows. For some software it works for some it doesn't.

Is there anything I can do or consider to make it work ?

Are you sure the Window title is not being changed with WinSetTitle?

The title that you may think is not changing could be a label and not the Window title.

Try running your script as admin. Depending on the application you're interacting with, you need admin privileges from your script.

Thanks. The title I request with WinList is not changed...

Thanks, I already do that.

Time for some debugging then. What window are you interacting with? Can you get the handle to the window?

Yes I can. As a matter of fact I am using the handle to add to the window title. So I tested it on Notepad and there it works, but not on this 3rd party software.

Update: it is not caused by the software but  it rather has to do with user rights etc.

When software is located in c:\users\UserA\Desktop\Software

I could not change the title, with the tool running from the same location, with the same logged in user, even with adding #RequireAdmin

on a different computer I installed the software in :

If I install it in c:\Software

and the the tool on the desktop of userA, and it works....

 

So it could be this, or another difference between the computers. I will test some more
