The SETCAPTION statement sets the text string used for a control's caption. The caption of a control is the most visible textual aspect that can logically be set to a string, for example the text on a button. This statement is the Shiny equivalent to the Win32API function "SetWindowText".

You may set the caption at any time. If you use a custom draw button, the caption text is stored separately and will not cause a redraw of the button when changed.

Parameters

ID

The ID of the control to set the caption for

Caption

The text string for the new caption

 

Return Value

None

Example Code

function Init()
{
    int ExplorerButtonID = createbutton(1, 10, 10, 50, 20);
    setcaption(ExplorerButtonID, "Run Explorer!");
}
