Changing the Window Caption

Question

Does any one know a line of code that will change the Window
Caption of a piece to a custom variable, rather than relying on the
knowledge object placement in the flowline?

If you use the Set Window Caption KO once in your file, it
will load the
function SetWindowCaption into your Authorware piece. Once
the function is
loaded in to your piece, you can delete the KO, then use this
code wherever
and whenever you want to change the caption.
SetWindowText( WindowHandle, YourCaptionVariable)
Note
- this relies on a function loaded from the Winapi.u32 that
is supplied with
Authorware. You must include that file whenever you package
your piece.
- you cannot simply copy the code above - it won't work
unless the
SetWindowText() function is loaded into your piece. If you
*do* try to just
copy/paste the code into your piece, you will be prompted to
load the
function. If so, browse to the file WinApi.u32 that is in
your Program
Files\Macromedia\Authorware 7 directory. Or even better -
copy WinAPI.u32 to
the same folder your AW source code is before loading it.
