How to change Title Bar

[stefee]

I want to use one module for different things. Say for instance that you have an Order Form and a Detail Form. You can select either one of these by the menu option. (Remember: they are the same module/project). I want to display the 'Order' or 'Detail' in the top most title bar depending on what they selected. How do I change that to show which one the user selected from the menu? I did try putting a variable in the string table but then it prints the actual variable word not the value.

Check out the SetWindowText function. It allows you to change the title bar text. [sig][/sig]

If your application is MDI:
Override PreCreateWindow like so:

BOOL CMainFrame:reCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
cs.style &= (~(FWS_ADDTOTITLE | FWS_PREFIXTITLE));
return CFrameWnd:reCreateWindow(cs);
}

then, make your own title text string and set it using SetWindowText();
