Set Title of Windows Command Prompt Window

I'm running a text-only Java application in a Windows XP Command Prompt window. Is there a way for my application to change the title of the window as it runs?

of cross platform similarities. you can always run your program using a batch file and
set the title in there.

Anyway, try:

Setting Classpath on windows platform

Hello
I was trying to set classpath of "D:\documentum\config" in my environment variable , i was doing it through command
prompt , the command i was implementing was
set classpath=D:\documentum\config;
but the when i was closing command prompt , the environment variable in windows named as ClassPath was not updating
i have also tried this command
set classpath=%classpath%;D:\documentum\config;
this also having the same result , so how can i set this property through command prompt
Regards

You can permanently set command line environmental variables through the advanced settings in Windows. You have to hunt around for it a bit, it is somewhere behind opening the right click properties of "my computer" (or whatever it is called in your flavor of Windows) and then choosing advanced. An "environmental variables" tab should be present there.
BUT! I would not advise you to set a classpath variable unless you fully realize that is only to make your development life a bit easier when working on the command prompt. When making your application ready for deployment the classpath must be managed without the variable. A script could work, or packaging everything up as an executable jar. When you start to work with an IDE like Eclipse or Netbeans you don't need that variable at all any more.

Windows 9X command prompt

hey
this may not fit in this forum, but i couldn't find one that it would fit in better so ill put it in here:
ive used Linux and windows XP/2000 to write software using C/C++/Java/Assembly previously and have recently began using a laptop that has windows 98 se on it. the biggest problem ive been finding is that the command prompt window that comes up does not allow me to scroll up to see output that has passed out of the window range, meaning that if i get more than 4 errors from a compilation i have to try and solve the bottem errors first, which can work sometimes but often the problem is caused by an error further up, which i cant see.
what i want to know is whether there is a tool/application that i can download that will give me a command prompt window that has a scroller on the side that works in windows 9x.
thanks

I use Ultraedit ver 9.00a, which is an excellent text editor.
I think there was a free version given away at one stage.
You can set up a command line program as a menu item, and capture the
output to a list box or separate text file. Very handy.
I use it to compile Java source code.
The "output window" is also quite clever, I can double click on the error ( which contains a line number ), and it jumps to the source code line. It also does syntax highlighting, and a very handy vertical/column select which no other editor does. Excellent for indenting big blocks of code at once.
No I don't work for them, but UltraEdit gets the McGovern Seal of approval 2003 :-)

Unchanging header in command prompt window

I didn't really know where to ask this. I'm writing a text-based adventure game, like Zork. And in Zork and most games like this, there is a header(or whatever you want to call it) at the top of the window that displays information relevant to the game (location, score, #moves, etc.). As new text is displayed and the old text moves up, the header stays at the top and doesn't move. And I was just wondering how I could do this in Java.

And I was just wondering how I could do this in Java.My understanding is he wants something that will look like a command prompt to display game info. First of all you understanding is not correct. I don't know why this is so difficult for you to grasp. Based on your other thread you are obviously not an idiot but why you are persisting in advice for a solution that the OP _clearly does not want_ is beyond me.
Here is why I am right and you are wrong.
1) The title of this thread is "Unchanging header in command prompt window " Note the "command prompt window" part. The OP says in the subject what they are looking for and no Swing or other GUI components are in any way implied by that.
2) The first post says "I'm writing a text-based adventure game," which again is an indication. Now by itself it could mean a few things but in light again of "command prompt window" it's pretty clear what the OP is asking for.
3) And this is a big one so please pay attention. You offered advice in reply #1 assuming the OP wanted a GUI. Now again based on 1 and 2 I think it's reasonable for you to have known that that wasn't wanted but whatever you gave some advice. And the OP returned and said in reply #2 "No, what I need relates specifically to the command prompt." I honestly don't know how either the OP or I could be any clearer than that. No, not GUI. Wants something that works "specifically to the command prompt"
I mean really. This is very clear. The OP does not want to use Swing components_ .
I am not "forcing" the OP into any decision. If the OP decides to use Swing great. If they decide not to, also fine with me. I couldn't care less either way frankly. But I, and I alone, am giving the OP the only correct advice in this thread based on what the OP has clearly stated several times that they are looking for.
I have no idea why you are arguing with me. I don't know why you insist on saying that I am wrong, or implying that I am forcing the OP down a road they don't want to go. Your reply after my first reply with "And i don't quite agree with the previous post. " was a mistake. You were wrong. You are wrong. Just move on.

Hi,
you need to make the necessary changes to the %odi%\bin\odiparams.bat config file, under the "Repository Connection Information" section so that startscen knows how to extract metadata from your repository.
You apparently have left the default settings to the Hypersonic demo repository. Is that the technology your repository is hosted on?

HT201413 how do i test a port on my windows 7 computer? i followed the steps in this article, but the command prompt said that "telnet" is not a valid command.

So I havent been able to connect to the iTunes store since June. It's getting a tad annoying. I followed all of the troubleshooting steps that i could find, and I am currently on the last one, which involves making sure that the ports that iTunes needs to function are open on my computer. I followed the article that was telling me how to do this, found my ip address, and was on the step where you actually check the port. I was told to use the command telnet, but when i did, the command prompt told me that " 'telnet' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file." So, I seem to be stuck. If someone could enlighten me on how to actually check if a port is open, or how to fix error code 11222, please let me know.

Windows 7 may need telnet installed, as mentioned in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771275(v=ws.10).aspx
I think 11222 is actually support.apple.com/kb/TS4123. Is that what you see?
I'm guessing you have one of the programs listed there and updating it may resolve.
Tricky bit is some software is bundled with other software - like RealPlayer Plus bundles Speedbit.
I hope that helps.

When I open firefox (note: I got firefox version 28.0 and Karspersky security 2014) I get a black screen, looking like a command prompt window, in firefox.

Hi,
When I open firefox (note: I got firefox version 28.0 and Karspersky security 2014) I get a black screen covering the whole firefox window and it looks more lika a big command prompt window, in firefox. What is it?
Regards
Jean

Huh, that's a new one...
Can you try Firefox in [[Safe Mode | Safe Mode]] to see if the problem goes away. I'm thinking it's an extension.
*Run ''firefox.exe -safe-mode'' in the search bar on the Start Menu. (Make sure Firefox is closed)
Have you added any new extensions recently around the time this started happening? Your system details shows the following:
*Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.2 ([email protected])
*Anti-Banner 14.0.0.4917 ([email protected])
*Dangerous Websites Blocker 14.0.0.4917 ([email protected])
*Kaspersky URL Advisor 14.0.0.4917 ([email protected])

How to hide command prompt window when using system exec

Hello, I'm using the system exec VI to do some file transfers for a LabVIEW application. I'm worried that the black command prompt window with white scrolling text that pops up when system exec is called might frighten the non-tech savy users of this LabVIEW application. Is there a way to hide the command prompt window?

Command prompt window problem

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to open a command prompt window from a Java GUI application? The application is started as a excutable JAR file and there is no command prompt window showing up in the beginning.
Thanks a lot
Wenly

Thank you guys, I have checked the doc and it seems the Runtime.getRuntime().exec(); will start a seperated process.What I need is to open a command prompt window in the same process of my application and display message on it by using System.out.println()
Is it possible?

Command Prompt in DOS Window

Is it possibe, when running a Swing Application to
get the command prompt back in order to do other
things in the background while the application is

If so how would I do that?
Thank you very much in advance for any help.

very simple....
create a batch file and then from dos window say
start YourFile.bat
you get your command prompt back...but that will open another prompt window for the applicationm
