Set window title for "any" open window

Post by Grovkillen » Tue May 09, 2023 5:41 am

Code: Select all

Let>WINDOW_TITLE_TO_CHANGE=Explorer<---change this to the title of your target window
Let>WINDOW_TITLE_TO_SET=Yo!

GetWindowHandle>WINDOW_TITLE_TO_CHANGE,WINDOW_handle
LibFunc>User32,SetWindowTextA,DID_IT_CHANGE,WINDOW_handle,WINDOW_TITLE_TO_SET
MDL>DID_IT_CHANGE
Observe that some windows will not expose the Windows window frame and thus not comply to the standard = will not change its title this way. Another thing to remember is that the GetWindowHandle command only look for a window which match the title and the first one it is happy with get returned as a handle.
