I have a VB.Net app that can open multiple windows. When a few windows get open, they collapse on the task bar with my application Icon, the number of open forms, and the title (WindowsApplication1). Is there a way I can change the title to be my application title?
Thanks

you can prevent the number of form title bars appearing in your taskbar by doing the following for your other forms:
Select the form in designer view. Select its properties
scroll to "Window Style" group in the properties Window
select "ShowInTaskBar" to false
this will prevent the form title bar from appearing in the taskbar for each form you set this property to false
does this help?
Hi,
I like having the windows in the taskbar. i just want to change the name of the title of the block in the taskbasr from 'WindowsApplication1'
Thanks
Hank
It's showing "WindowsApplication1" because that is the name of your form. Change the Text property of the form to whatever you want to be displayed in the taskbar.
Thanks for the tip, but it only shows 'WindowsApplication1' when I have many forms open from my application and then Windows compresses the windows into 1 taskbar entry. That is the entry that says windows application 1. I have changed the application name and namespace and it has not changed this behaviour.
