i downloaded a Visual C++ project from net.Now i want to change the name of the window form or the application that runs when i click debug.
i tried changing the name through the properties window of the form,but it didnt helped.plzzz iam in great need to get this issue solved.help me..!!!
The linker settings will let you specify the name of the executable file.
i already have specified the desired name of the executable file. Still it is showing the original name of the downloaded project on the top left corner of the executable window form. i need to change that...!!!
What GCDEF suggested should work. You should be able to go into project properties >> linker >> General and change the 'output file' name.
Two things:
* Is it a .NET application? Then you are on wrong forum.
* Do you mean the title of window? Or the name of EXE you want to run/debug?
There is another way to change the name of project in class view and it will change executable name as well. You will have to edit .vcprj file and change the 'Name' field.
Code:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>
<VisualStudioProject
ProjectType="Visual C++"
Version="8.00"
Name="YourNewProjectName"
The nice thing about it is it changes it in class view as well.
@ zspirit: where to find the .vcprj file???
@ Ajay Vijay: its not a .NET application.
i want to change the name of the form that appears on the top left hand corner when the project runs(the title of the window)
SetWindowText
is the method. But where you need to call (for which window object), you need to tell the type of application. Look for InitInstance, and find which window is being set as main window.
the VC++ project that iam building and debugging should create a .exe file(application) automatically,but it is not doing so.On building it gives the error "the system cannot find the file specified(.exe)"
You are giving vague problems. First let us know what is your problem. If you are facing multiple issues, list and solve them one by one.
Check the LINKER setting, where the EXE is being generated.
Check the GENERAL setting, what is command line.
Both must match.
today i tried once again n changed the title of the window form the properties of the form and it was successful..!!!
@Ajay Vijay:thanks for your support and patience...i worked upon what u said about the linker and general setting. i was doing a silly mistake in giving a space in the name of the application.this was preventing it from proper functioning.
thanks a lot everyone...problem solved...!!!
