Change Window Caption from Clipper?
|

| Hi, folks --
I'm running a Clipper (5.2) app under Windows (98 or XP workstations).
Initially, the caption in the window displaying the program (and on the
taskbar icon) shows the name of the Clipper EXE, which is what I want.
At certain times the Clipper app uses the Blinker swap command to run a
child process (another DOS program). At that time the caption changes
to the name of that child process. It never reverts back to the name of
the Clipper EXE, even when the child process is finished and control is
returned to the EXE.
Does anyone know of a way to change the caption back?
Thanks --
Doug Schwarz

LOL! After going back and re-reading my post I can see how that might work,
just. ;)

Please pardon my ignorance, what do you mean by "Ralf Brown's"?
TIA, Eugene

IIRC it is one of the functions I cobbled together after trawling thru Ralf
Brown's for pointless little functions that might be fun to write.

| Not so "pointless"! The window caption is the only thing still visible
when the program is minimized to a task bar icon. Once it changes, some
of my less-savvy users have trouble figuring out which of several icons
represents "their" program. Oh well ...
