Author	Message
Anthony Hugh #1 / 4	Application Title - how do I change it dynamically I have an app which runs in either MDI or SDI depending on a level setting - I want to display the level in the application's title bar along with the other information i.e. For MDI, instead of "<appname> - [<document name>]" I want it to say "<appname> - Level <level> - [<document name>]" where <level> is defined at runtime... Cheers for any help Ant !! Junk email NOT wanted or appreciated !! !! Remove .NOSPAM from address when replying direct !!

Or doing so for a particular MDI window? If you just want to know how to set the text for the title bar of a window, call the SetWindowText(..) function.
