This is one of those things that hard to look up just because you get so many hits on other subjects.

anybody know how to change the AutoCAD header/title at the top left?

thanks!

Look at MODEMACRO in Help.

Thanks for the replies!

ModeMacro changes the status line (in the old days it changed the titlebar). From what I have seen on the documentation you can't use it to change the titlebar anymore. Am I wrong?

JTB-Titlebar-
I'm giving this one some serious thought! I'm a little weary of using it because it's copy righted and I can't get into the DVB file (passworded). and when it's potentially being loaded coporate wide that's not really a good thing.

Thanks!

I only briefly looked at JTB_TitleBar on the website so I may be missing something.

Why do you want to modify the DVB file?

It appears the LSP file controls what is displayed in the title bar.

Jeff,
mainly it's just a matter of paranoia. I'll be releasing the code to hundreds of CAD users on a corporate level. I just don't want to let an unknown (DVB contents) get out there. Coming from a freeware source I'm a little more weary than I would be if it came from a known trusted source.

Beyond that... I'm just a curious cat... I want to know how they did it! LOL

Thanks!

i totally understand what you are saying, but if it makes you feel any better, Autodesk has commissioned Jim Bergmark to code for them before.

I got this off of another forum. Simple code... works great!

Private Declare Function SetWindowText Lib "user32" _
Alias "SetWindowTextA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal lpString As String) As Long

Sub main()
AppHwnd = Application.hWnd
SetWindowText AppHwnd, "This is a test" & Chr(0)
End Sub

Thanks for the replies!
