Question

I think this is going to be an easy one for you guys 🙂

I am trying to get FPS displayed in the window title in my Directx application (written in C++). I do not really know how to do this as my app assigns title in this manner

any ideas how to do this (so that I can see the FPS when I minimise my app) ?

I think you can use SetWindowText() to accomplish this, e.g.:

HWND window = CreateWindow(windowClass.lpszClassName, title, WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, x, y, width, height, GetDesktopWindow(),NULL,windowClass.hInstance,NULL);

… then later …

SetWindowText(window, "XXXX FPS");
