You can change the text in the titlebar in Windows Forms by using the Text property   For C      This class is added to the namespace containing the Form1 class  class MainApplication      public static void Main                 Instantiate a new instance of Form1        Form1 f1   new Form1              Display a messagebox  This shows the application          is running  yet there is nothing shown to the user           This is the point at which you customize your form        System Windows Forms MessageBox Show  The application               is running now  but no forms have been shown               Customize the form        f1 Text    Running Form             Show the instance of the form modally        f1 ShowDialog

If you want to update it later  once  quot this quot  no longer references it  I had some luck with assigning a variable to point to the main form    static Form f0    public OrdUpdate          InitializeComponent       f0 this           then later you can say   f0 Text  quot New text quot

All the answers that include creating an new object from Form class are absolutely creating new form  But you can use Text property of ActiveForm subclass in Form class  For example           public Form1                 InitializeComponent            Form1 ActiveForm Text    Your Title
