HI dave

Actually my requirement is as follows.

We have "CPSPPT" application which is developed in C# framework 2.0 VS 2005 integrated with PowerPoint 2007. So now we are migrated this application in VS 2010 framework 3.5 integrating with PowerPoint 2010. So when run the application PPT window will display with my application Add-In and it should be display database path on title bar(Caption). Its working fine in PPT 2007. But in PPT 2010 the caption(Database path) is not displaying. I need to display the caption on title bar.

Please suggest me the C# code to display caption of PowerPoint 2010.

Solution 1

The caoption of the PowerPoint window? WHy would you want to?? Start by reading these[^].

You'll have to get the window handle of PowerPoint, then call SetWindowText to change the titlebar text.
