BoxShut and Icon Name Change

Question:

After the BoxShut command, I get a Winbatch icon with the title "INFO" and it disappears when at the end of the program.

Here's some sample code:

;Debug(@ON)
WinHide("")
ERRORMODE(@OFF)
TIME=DATETIME()
TIME1=StrSub(TIME,4,5)
FILE="N#WORD"
CR=Num2Char(13)
LF=Num2Char(10)
Anzahl=0
PARAM1=0
Zaehler1=0
BoxOpen("-INFO","- %ANWEND% -- wird nun gestartet  %CR%%lf%  bitte warten")
BoxShut() 

ANSWER:

When you use BoxOpen() you are unhiding the WBT initially hidden with WinHide(""). You then change the title of the Box (and WBT) to -INFO with the first part of your BoxOpen("-INFO","") command. The WBT is now unhidden and has the name -INFO. When you use BoxShut() you return the WBT to its natural state as an icon with its new -INFO name.

Try this:

 ;Debug(@ON)
 WinHide("")
 MyName=WinName()    ;Add this line
 ERRORMODE(@OFF)

Continue with your code until:

 BoxShut()
 WinTitle("",MyName)   ;Add these two lines
 WinHide("")           ;after your BoxShut()
 ERRORMODE(@CANCEL)
