Sets the program window title

Syntax

` declare sub Windowtitle ( byref title as const string )

`

Usage

` WindowTitle title

`

Parameters

title

the string to be assigned as new window title.

Description

This statement is useful to change the program window title. The new title set will become active immediately if the program already runs in windowed mode, otherwise will become the new title for any window produced by subsequent calls to the Screen (Graphics) or ScreenRes statement. If this function is not called before setting a new windowed mode via Screen (Graphics) or ScreenRes, the program window will use the executable file name (without the extension) as title by default.

This command has no effect in consoles.

Examples

start GeSHi

'Set screen mode
Screen 13

'Set the window title
WindowTitle "FreeBASIC example program"

Sleep

end GeSHi
