Changing a VI's Window Title

You can customize the VI window title to make it more descriptive than the VI filename. This is useful for localized VIs so the VI window title can be translated to the local language.

Complete the following steps to change the VI window title.

  1. Select File»VI Properties to display the VI Properties dialog box.
  2. Select Window Appearance from the Category pull-down menu at the top of the VI Properties dialog box.
  3. Remove the checkmark from the Same as VI Name checkbox.
  4. Type a title for the VI in the Window Title text box.

You also can use the Front Panel Window:Title property to change the VI window title programmatically.
