Returns the caption text of a window.
The window is identified by its window handle.
Contents
Function Parameters[edit]
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| windowhandle | Integer | The handle of the window whose caption should be returned. |
Returns[edit]
String — The caption text of the specified window.
Examples[edit]
1 local form = createForm()
2 form.Caption = "Example Window"
3
4 local caption = getWindowCaption(form.Handle)
5
6 print(caption)
1 local mainForm = getMainForm()
2
3 if mainForm ~= nil then
4 local caption = getWindowCaption(mainForm.Handle)
5 print("Main form caption: " .. tostring(caption))
6 end
1 local memoryView = getMemoryViewForm()
2
3 if memoryView ~= nil then
4 print(getWindowCaption(memoryView.Handle))
5 end
Notes[edit]
- The function requires a valid window handle.
- For Cheat Engine controls and forms, the Handle property can usually be used.
- For normal Cheat Engine form objects, reading the Caption property directly is usually simpler.
