Why doesn't my CVI's panel's title bar text show up in Windows' Task Bar?

[bmihura]

When I call

SetPanelAttribute (panel, ATTR_TITLE, sPanelTitle);

...that changes my CVI's panel's title bar, but the text in Windows' Task Bar is unchanged. Is there a separate function call for setting the Task Bar's text?

You can set it at build time in the "Application Title" field on the Build->Target Settings menu.

Can the Task Bar text be set dynamically?

My program is basically a timer, and I want the "time remaining" to be visible on Windows' Task Bar as my program is running.

Yes - use ATTR_TASKBAR_BUTTON_TEXT, with the SetSystemAttribute() function.

That works perfectly, thanks.

It works only when I make an executable, not during development, which is OK with me.
