I want to rename visual studio windows. I have several open at once, each with the same project name appearing on the taskbar. I want to rename each of them individually to make them more easily identifiable.

This works on an explorer window, but fails on almost everything else.



Any suggestions?

Unfortunately, Visual studio tends to use bleeding edge or completely custom UI elements. I'm not sure, but the latest versions are probably using WPF or something equally fancy to display things, so they may not have a place to change the window title.

You might try getting the control list from the window to see if there is a hidden control that you can change that affects the title. You could also use the script to check the title after you set it to see if an invisible title bar was actually changed.

You could also see if errorlevel indicates that AHK couldn't set the title.

What version of Visual Studio are you using on what OS? I think I have 2008.
