Problem:

The SetWindowText Win32 API function can be used in a "Quick Win" or Windows application to change what is displayed by Windows in the Windows "Title Bar." In a Graphical Windows program, as opposed to a character ("Quick Win") program, you would get your Window handle from your CreateWindow Api call rather than the PC_WIN_HANDLE call-by-name routine.

Resolution:

INTRODUCTION

==========

The SetWindowText Api can be used in a character mode program compiled with the Graphical setting or in a graphical application, to change what is displayed in the application's Window "Title Bar." In a graphical Windows program, you would get your Window handle from your CreateWindow Api call rather than the PC_WIN_HANDLE call-by-name routine used in this character mode example program.
