Changing the Title of an App

[Grimes]

How can I change the title of my app while it's running? I want it to say various things depending on where the user is in the app. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

I assume you want to change the text in the system tray, because the app.exename is a read only property. You can Change the Form Caption and if the form is marked as showintaskbar then that can show your changing text, but you cannot change the name of the application at runtime. There is a function on CodeGuru that will show you how to create a taskbar item if you have to have this functionality.

That's what I want to do. I'll check there....Thanks

Would you happen to know where that example is on Code Guru? I can't seem to find it. Thanks again.

try this link, by the way CodeHound is the best source for those hard to find items.

I'm sorry for all this, but I still don't see anything. I understand what you are talking about, but I'm looking to change the Form Title in the Task Bar not the SysTray, and I don't see an article for anything about that. Again I'm really sorry to bother you and I really appreciate your help.
