Change a GUI's title

[BALA]

I've tried searching for this but I suppose I was to vague in describing it because I kept on getting threads about WinSetTitle and GUICtrlSetData. What I need to know is how to reset the title of a GUI that I've already created.

WinSetTitle()

WinSetTitle()

Oh, I can't believe it was the command I've been avoiding. Well thanks then

Your own GUI can be dealt with as a normal window.... So every command you can use on a normal window is also possible on a GUI you created

Don't know why you've been avoiding it, but if you have to customize it so you feel like you are using it app specific, I suppose you could

$MainGUI = GUICreate('Some Random Title', 200, 80)
$Input = GUICtrlCreateInput('', 10, 10, 180, 20)
$Button = GUICtrlCreateButton('Change', 10, 40, 180, 25)
GUISetState()
While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case -3
            Exit
        Case $Button
            _GUISetTitle(GUICtrlRead($Input))
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func _GUISetTitle($sTitle, $hWnd = '')
    $hWnd = _GetHWnd($hWnd)
    Return WinSetTitle($hWnd, '', $sTitle)
EndFunc

Func _GetHWnd($hWnd)
    If $hWnd = '' Then
        $hWnd = WinGetHandle('')
    ElseIf IsString($hWnd) And WinExists($hWnd) Then
            $hWnd = WinGetHandle($hWnd)
    ElseIf StringInStr($hWnd, '0x') And IsHWnd($hWnd) = 0 Then
        $hWnd = HWnd($hWnd)
    EndIf
    Return $hWnd
EndFunc

SmOke_N : Why all the extra-stuff ?

$gui = GUICreate("")
GUISetState()
Sleep(2000)

WinSetTitle($gui, "", "newTitle")
Sleep(2000)

Did you read my comment? If he felt the need to make it more GUI specific .

Edit:

On the plus side of that... if you need to pass a child handle that isn't active, you can do that as well. But yes, the need for the UDFs are primarily useless IMO, it was in jest that I did them (thus the laughing face in my comment).

It wasn't exactly avoiding, it's just it caused an error when I tried using it the first time so I thought I was using the wrong command. Anyways I found the real problem (a typo in the variable name ) that was causing the error so it's fine now. Anyways, thanks for the helpful responds.

Sure. I read it alright... I think it's a matter of not understand it instead. I even tilted my head at one point

Nevermind... You're not the only one who's been lacking a good night sleep lately

Sleep(100)

Um... what does that have to do with changing the title of a window ?

Bala,

You can also use a DllCall

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SetWindowText", "hwnd", $hInst, "str", "Changed the Window Title")
