How do I Update Window Title text in VB.NET

Question

When you visit Google, IE says something like Google - Microsoft Internet Explorer. However, if you changed the address to, say, Stack Overflow, it would say something like Stack Overflow - Microsoft Internet Explorer. So, how can I make a dynamic title bar that changes with a variable?

Accepted Answer

You set the `Form.Text`, using the current instance (which you access using `Me`):

```
Dim SomeVariable As String

SomeVariable = "Site 1 - My Application"
Me.Text = SomeVariable
```

For future reference, you can figure a lot of this out by clicking on the object you want to change things on in the Designer and then looking at the Properties window. In this case, you'd click on your main window and then looking at Properties, where you'd find the "Text" property. Changing it in the Properties window would change it in the Designer immediately when you type new text and hit the Enter key or move to another property.
