Hi again Kat,
Try putting something like this at the end of your WM_CREATE
window event handler that is associated with the desired console:
atom lptext,hwndC,bool
hwndC=c_func(xGetWindow,{hwnd,2})
hwndC=c_func(xGetWindow,{hwndC,2})
lptext=allocate_string("New Console Title")
bool=c_func(xSetWindowText,{hwndC,lptext})
free(lptext)
If youre using winlib, you could try putting it in your
onOpen() routine.
If your missing any low level c function wraps mentioned above:
xSetWindowText=link_c_func(user32,"SetWindowTextA",
{C_POINTER,C_POINTER},C_ULONG)
xGetWindow=link_c_func(user32, "GetWindow",
{C_POINTER,C_ULONG},C_POINTER)
Let me know how you make out with it.
