how to remove "macro scheduler" text in message bo

[matthiasR]

Hi,

is there a way to remove or change the text "macro scheduler" in the titlebar of messageboxes? Tried to set app_title, but that does not work.

You can use APP_TITLE for compiled macros. Has no effect on macros run within Macro Scheduler.

Alternatively use the Dialog Designer to create your own custom message box. You can mimic the standard message dialog, or design it any way you like, and this can have any title you choose.

I have gone with the custom dialog method. This way you can include a graphics file to display, send variable message text, control the dialog size, as well as the results (Yes, NO, Cancel) etc....

Thanks to both of you.
I will give APP_TITLE a try, as i planned to create an exe anyway.

The following code demonstrates an easy method to change the standard Message> title in an uncompiled script. There is also code to make a standard message modal. This code might be needed because you could not otherwise alter the title of a standard modal message box in an uncompiled script.

Code: Select all

Message>This is a standard message window with program induced modality.  It displays "My Specified Title" rather than "Macro Scheduler Message"


////////////////////// Rename the standard message window /////////////////////
Let>vMyReplacementTitle=My Specified Title
GetWindowHandle>Macro Scheduler Message,vWinHandle
LibFunc>user32,SetWindowTextA,res,vWinHandle,vMyReplacementTitle
//////////////////// End Rename the standard message window ///////////////////



///////////////////////  Make a Standard Message Modal  ///////////////////////
Label>PseudoModalMessageLoop
Wait>0.01
IfWindowOpen>vMyReplacementTitle,PseudoModalMessageLoop
/////////////////////  End Make a Standard Message Modal  /////////////////////

You can do the same with most any window. For example, open Notepad then run the following.

Code: Select all

////////////////////// Rename a Notepad window /////////////////////
Let>vMyReplacementTitle=My Specified Title
GetWindowHandle>Notepad*,vWinHandle
LibFunc>user32,SetWindowTextA,res,vWinHandle,vMyReplacementTitle
