Get the caption of a running form

Here is a small tip on how you from code can get the caption of a running form:

 static void GetCaption(Args _args)
{
    Args args = new Args(formstr(CustTable));
    FormRun fr = ClassFactory::formRunClassOnClient(args);
    ;
    print Winapi::getWindowText(Winapi::getForegroundWindow());
    print Winapi::getWindowText(Winapi::getFocus());
    
    fr.init();
    fr.run();
    
    print Winapi::getWindowText(fr.hWnd());
    
    fr.close();
    
    pause;
}

You can use Winapi::setWindowText(...) to set the text. In most forms you would do that by overriding the active method on the datasource provding data for window title and add a line like this:

     Winapi::setWindowText(element.hWnd(), "MY WINDOW TEXT");
