Subject:Re: How to capture the text of a title bar?? From:Bill Swallow <techcommdood -at- gmail -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Tue, 24 May 2005 16:24:31 -0400
I'm sure you can do it programmatically. We authored a switch into one
of our products that we enable during development cycles... when you
hover over any c-s element in the UI, it pops up the context ID it's
using for c-s calls. I'm sure the same behavior can be implemented to
pop up the titlebar text string on hover or some other action, or
otherwise make it copyable.
