Want to IMPRESS your CoIrkers??

Try this bit of API Code I put together.

Simply place it in a new module in the VBA editor and select the corresponding macro "SetWindowText" from the macros list from the toolbar.

Code: [Select]

Option Explicit

Declare Sub WindowText Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowTextA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal N As String)

Public Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long
Public Function FindAutoCAD() As Long
  FindAutoCAD = FindWindow(vbNullString, Application.Caption)
End Function
Sub SetWindowText()
 WindowText FindAutoCAD, Interaction.InputBox("What do you want to name your AutoCAD session: ", "Rename AutoCAD", "AutoCAD")
End Sub


Right now I am using AutoCAD 2000 W/SwampCAD Add-ons....


Cool huh....

that is cool. I see you have yet to make a few dll files. You have a smiley on a toolbar in the upper right.

Actually, that was done intentionally. I hacked the acadres.dll and substituted the "evil smiley" :twisted:  from the forum in place of the regular smiley. That way the smiley more accurately reflects the attitude of the user.

Ah, I wanted to do that since the last time we had that discussion from cadalog. I couldn't figure it out. I just looked through the acadres.dll in 2004 and couldn't find the ? on a cloud. That's what they've replaced it with in this release.

I should have said that it was in acadbtn.dll

If you have reshacker you can change it, if not use something like Visual Studios.

Generally the "error" icon is the last of the bitmaps.

When I get my other system up and running I will check out the 2004 version.
