Remarks

For more information, see Title bar customization

By default, the title bar shows the app's display name as the window title. The display name is set in the Package.appxmanifest file. To replace the title with custom text, set the Window.Title property to a text value, as shown in the Examples.

In addition to the title bar, this string is used in other system UI such as the application switcher (Alt-Tab).

This is a wrapper for SetWindowText.

If ExtendsContentIntoTitleBar is set to true, this value is not displayed by the title bar.
