In that case, please put in my vote for an app-specific title bar button feature being added to DisplayFusion ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/change-title-bar-text-in-microsoft-word-and-other-office-apps/?ID=bc3cde9e-c617-4495-9d8a-bf43db931a60#3 Thu, 05 Jul 2018 18:02:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/change-title-bar-text-in-microsoft-word-and-other-office-apps/?ID=bc3cde9e-c617-4495-9d8a-bf43db931a60#3 DisplayFusion I've checked in with our devs, and as far as they know, there isn't a way to edit/remove the Window title on those Office apps using the DF scripts, sorry! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/change-title-bar-text-in-microsoft-word-and-other-office-apps/?ID=bc3cde9e-c617-4495-9d8a-bf43db931a60#2 Tue, 26 Jun 2018 16:19:31 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/change-title-bar-text-in-microsoft-word-and-other-office-apps/?ID=bc3cde9e-c617-4495-9d8a-bf43db931a60#2 DisplayFusion I'm not aware of any way to do this, but I will assign this over to one of our devs to see if they have any ideas. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/change-title-bar-text-in-microsoft-word-and-other-office-apps/?ID=bc3cde9e-c617-4495-9d8a-bf43db931a60 Mon, 25 Jun 2018 07:24:29 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/change-title-bar-text-in-microsoft-word-and-other-office-apps/?ID=bc3cde9e-c617-4495-9d8a-bf43db931a60 DisplayFusion Hi there,

When I run a scripted function for a Microsoft Word window, BFS.Window.SetText does not change the text in the title bar ("Document1 - Word" by default) like it does with File Explorer, Notepad etc. However, it does change the name of the window which appears when previewing the window in the taskbar by mousing over it. I'm assuming this is the same for other Office apps.

Is there another property of Office windows that I should be changing in order to change their title bar text? If not, is there some way to simply hide the text (which would be useful in the attached picture)?

The only other way I can think of to change this text is in VBA by changing the Application.Caption and ActiveWindow.Caption properties in the document itself. If I could do that via C# in my DisplayFusion scripted function, that would be even better, though I'm not sure if/how that would work since this is my very first experience with C# (or anything really outside of VBA).

Is this at all possible?

And keep up the good work - this is a fantastic product

Cheers,
Blair ]]>
