TITLEPROMPT - width x height in prompt?

Hi

Is it possible the get the number of rows & columns as part of the Windows Title?

I am using TitlePrompt with it set to $P
This is useful because if I have number of TCC sessions open on the taskbar, I can immediately know what I am doing in each windows based on the directory.

But I also have a number of icons to fire of TCC and they have at the base of each description

(80x50)
(80x80)
(150x50)
(150x80)
which is the number of screen (col x row) characters they open up for each TCC session.
It would be nice to somehow prepend that in the TitlePrompt so I am aware of which TCC sessions are screen maximal from the taskbar - but how?

Can this be done?
Any other lateral thinking suggestions most welcome.

Thanks

Stephen Howe

Code:
set titleprompt=(%%_columns $hx%%_rows) TCC

This will give you, for instance... (80x25) TCC

I guess in adding to your current setting, you would want

Code:
set titleprompt=(%%_columns $hx%%_rows) $P
 
Code:
set titleprompt=(%%_columns $hx%%_rows) TCC
This will give you, for instance... (80x25) TCC

I guess in adding to your current setting, you would want

Code:
set titleprompt=(%%_columns $hx%%_rows) $P

Incidentally, you can also use the square-bracket syntax with internal variables:

Code:
set titleprompt=(%%[_columns]x%%_rows) $P
 
Code:
set titleprompt=(%%_columns $hx%%_rows) TCC

This will give you, for instance... (80x25) TCC

I guess in adding to your current setting, you would want

Code:
set titleprompt=(%%_columns $hx%%_rows) $P

Brilliant. Thanks, that works. Just found the notes on internal vars working in TitlePrompt.
That is so much more useful.

Along these lines, what's going on with ESET?

Code:
v:\> eset titleprompt
titleprompt=(%_columns x %_rows) $s[1804]$s$s$p

v:\> set titleprompt
(%_columns x %_rows) $s[1804]$s$s$p

v:\> eset titleprompt
titleprompt=$s[1804]$s$s$p (%_columns x %_rows)

v:\> set titleprompt
$s[1804]$s$s$p (80 x 25)

If I insert the size **before** my customary titleprompt it works as the OP
suggested. If I insert the same thing at the end, it's expanded immediately!

And my (system) titleprompt variable is set to $s[%_pid]$s$s$p. Why don't I see
that when I ESET titleprompt?

But as I pointed out (for ESET) in another post,

Code:
set titleprompt=$P (%%_columns $hx%%_rows)

works quite differently!

Code:
v:\> set titleprompt=$P (%%_columns $hx%%_rows)

v:\> set titleprompt
$P (80 $hx25)

v:\> set titleprompt=(%%_columns $hx%%_rows) $P

v:\> set titleprompt
(%_columns $hx%_rows) $P
 
Code:
v:\> set titleprompt=$P (%%_columns $hx%%_rows)

v:\> set titleprompt
$P (80 $hx25)

Works fine for me.
Code:
[J:\]ver

TCC  12.11.69   Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

[J:\]set titleprompt=$P (%%_columns $hx%%_rows)

[J:\]set titleprompt
$P (%_columns $hx%_rows)

Do you have any of the SETDOS things that might be affecting it?

v:\> set titleprompt
(%_columns $hx%_rows) $P

Not reproducible, and AFAIK not possible unless you have something (an alias or plugin?) interfering with the SET.

SET knows and cares nothing about parentheses.

Well, something is amiss here and it only affects titleprompt!

Code:
v:\> set zz
$P (%_columns $hx%_rows)

v:\> set titleprompt=$P (%%_columns $hx%%_rows)

v:\> set titleprompt
$P (80 $hx25)

Another dumb move on my part. I had an experimental PRE_INPUT alias that
monkeyed with TITLEPROMPT. All better now.

Doesn't that depend on the codepage AND font you use, AND on ASCII vs.
Unicode?

I think the title bars are inherently Unicode. But I suppose you could set the title bars to some font which doesn't include that character.
