'CAPTION' | Replace Caption for Window

GUI Display

## Format

'CAPTION'(text)
Where:

text | Replacement caption. String expression.

## Description

Use 'CAPTION'(text) to change the caption for the current window. If the current window does not have a caption and is located at position 0.0, PxPlus replaces the caption on the main window ('WINDOW' or 'DIALOGUE').

To find out the caption for the current window, you can use a MULTI_LINE READ directive with CTL=0 (e.g. MULTI_LINE READ 0,A$).

If you set the caption to use a TAB character ($09$) followed by text, PxPlus will append that text surrounded in quotes (" ") to the end of all subsequent captions. This allows you to add information (i.e. user name, company code/name, date, etc.) to all captions within an application.
