dynamically change application title

[menchar]

Is there any way to dynamically change the application title, so that the displayed application name in the task bar changes from the application name established with the target properties tab in the build menu?

I don't see anything in the NI libraries that will do it, and nothing in the SDK, but I know it's possible, CVI is able flash the taskbar icon and change its color too I believe.

Thanks.

Good Morning Menchar!

Here is a KnowledgeBase that describes exactly what you are trying to do. I found this by searching "CVI change application title" at ni.com. Hope you have a wonderful day!

Good Evening Dr. Doiron!

Thank you for the advice!  Perfect answer!

Hello Menchar,

Glad that worked out for you. I didn't post what I searched to make you feel bad or anything, I simply wanted to show all the customers who might read this ways to find some of the resources we provide.

I am glad I could help, have a wonderful day!

I had searched under "dynamically change application name"  or "programmatically change application name" I think it was and nothing showed up.

Hello Menchar,

I took a look at the keywords for that KnowledgeBase and you are right, it's not particularly easy to find. Apparantly I just lucked onto it. I have added some keywords so that it should be easier to find in a few days when the new keywords go live.

As always, thanks for the input!
