t0ddie Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 i used to know all the arguments fo shortcuts, but i forgot them, and now heh..... well, i have an application that i renamed to 1.exe in the task bar, it is 1.exe yet, it still comes up in the window title as the original program name makes it hard to check individual open windows of different circumstances of the same application if they all have the same window title. so, i worked a way around this. by making copies of the application, renaming them as needed.. (1,2,3...so on) making shortcuts to each application, and adding an argument to the target to change the name of the window. i figured this would be a good idea if anyone has had this problem, and so i posted it. problem is, i forgot the -argument anybody know?

this-is-me Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Is it an app that runs inside a command prompt window? If so, try typing "programname.exe /?" in the command prompt. Who else would I be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0ddie Posted September 28, 2004 Author Share Posted September 28, 2004 no. its a chat client. and i have 5 screennames open at the same time but all the window titles are "y!mlite" i want to have them be 1,2,3,4 and 5. you can do this like i mentioned previously, you just need to add an argument to the target in a shortcuts(.lnk) properties. for example. if you have an application such as a video game, and it takes up the whole screen... you can add this to the end of the .lnk target in properties. -w that will open the program in window mode. so you dont have to alt-tab your way back to the desktop. -ns will give it no sound... i need the argument for setting the window title.

this-is-me Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 That's totally controlled by that application. There is not a single global command line parameter that will change the title for a window. Hwever, If you have autoit launch your app, then call winsettitle, you might have something. Who else would I be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0ddie Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 well, i used to be able to do it, but it was launched through an .mpq file or something.. yeah thats right. i changed the name of the .mpq and it would be the window title. thanks Valik Note Added 19 October 2006 - 08:38 AMAdded to warn level I just plain don't like you.

t0ddie Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 (edited) ok.. this works ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode",2) WinSetTitle("Y!mLite - toddie_s You Are In: Programming:1","", "1") ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- but this doesnt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode",2) WinSetTitle("Y!mLite","", "1") ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i thought that wintitlematchmode 2 would make that work.... whats wrong?

t0ddie Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 well, i got this to work $title = WinGetTitle("Y!mLite", "") if StringInStr($title,"That room is full.",)then MsgBox(0, "full","room full") endif WinSetTitle($title,"", "1") but the proram automatically changes the window title back to its original title after just a couple of seconds. shold be long enough to do what i want though. thanks.
