Set window caption

[EE]

I have tried to modify the Window Caption using :
ActiveWindow.Caption = "123"
But all I get is a run-time error: "Invalid window type for this action"
Does anyone know what the problem may be, and if there is a solution ?

Caption of active window seems to be protected, but you could change caption
if you save the document as "save as".

I seem to remember something about being able to hack this with API calls,
but I think Visio updates it often, so you'd have to keep setting it as
well. I can't remember the details, though.

What do you meen by "API calls", calling Windows directly ?
How do I do this from VBA ? Can you point me to an example ?

Yeah, sometimes called Win Api, it's a way to directly call windows
functions.

Here's an article that might help:

I think there's a function SetWindowCaption, but I'm not sure. There
certainly is a GetWindowCaption...
