Declare Function SetWindowText Lib "user32.dll" Alias "SetWindowTextA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpString As String) As Long
SetWindowText changes the title (the .Caption property) of a window. This works with any window, not just the ones in your program! Of course, other programs won't expect their window titles to be changed, so use this with care on windows you didn't create. The function returns 0 if an error occured, or a non-zero value if successful.
Example:
' This changes the text on button Command1
x = SetWindowText(Command1.hWnd, "&Push Me!")
