program title

How do you set the title name and icon. I use C++ with sdl an devC++.

im guessing windows?
and im guessing you wanna change the icon and title in the windows title bar?

well, i haven't messed with the icons enough to say but its a little more complicated than changing the text.

heres how to chang the window title anywhere in the program you have a handle

#include <windows.h>

char text[] = "oo Title Changed!! oo"

SetWindowText(my_window_handle, text);

function prototype:

BOOL SetWindowText(
HWND hWnd,
LPCTSTR lpString
);

If you have an icon as a resource:

Code:

---

SetClassLong(MainWindow, GCL_HICON, (LONG)LoadIcon(CurInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(ProgramIcon)));
ShowWindow(MainWindow, SW_HIDE);
ShowWindow(MainWindow, SW_SHOW);

---

MainWindow is the window, ProgramIcon is the ID of the icon and CurInst is the first HINSTANCE parameter in WinMain.
The reason I hide then show the window again is that the icon will be misplaced otherwise...
