Rename title of WinForms form

Question

How do I rename the name of already created Windows Form? Currently, its default name is Form1 and when the application runs its name is shown in the top-left side of window. How do I rename this text to MyForm?

Refactoring changes the name of the .cs files, but the text in window does not change. Moreover, I tried to change default icon of the form by using Project->Properties->Browse to the location of the .ico file, but the default icon didn't change. Why doesn't that work?

Solution

You would need to change the Form's Text property;

This can be done VIA the properties or within code;

Or (from the constructor)

this.Text = "MyForm";

Hope this helps?

There is no Text property in Properties of Form. Instread there are properties such as Name of file, Full Path, Action when building, etc..

@NurlanKenzhebekov Then I think you're looking in the wrong place, have you tried (from your Form1's constructor) to change it VIA code? (i.e. this.Text = "MyForm";)

@NurlanKenzhebekov you are mixed up with properties of Form.cs (File propeties).

@Hexie the OP also wants to rename his Form, you miss that.

No he doesn't. He wants to change the text displayed in the title bar. That's set by the Text property. All objects that inherit from System.Windows.Forms.Control have it. This answer is correct as it stands.

@KingKing Also - the question reads: Refactoring changes the name of the .cs files, but the text in window does not change. making it sound as if he has already changed the Form's name. I agree with Cody Gray unfortunately.

@Hexie this question is made italic: How do I rename this text to MyForm whereas this text was mentioned before in ... its default name is Form1 ...

[King King]

@Hexie OK, it looks like that the OP even doesn't differentiate the Name and the Text of the form, he possibly wants to change the Text of his form.
