 I recently encountered a problem where the short name was being truncated and not naming the windows properly.  I have gotten that issue resolved, but now I need to learn how to activate and rename windows using the long name.  I can't seem to find it on the wiki page so any directions or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
 
 Thanks!

 For Origin8.x version, it is suggested to use page.longname$ to rename the window's LongName.

 Suppose you have a graph with long name as "My Test", then you can use the following command to activate it.
 
 range rr = [My Test]!1;
 win -a %(rr.getpage()$);
 
 After the window has been activated, you could use
 
 page.label$ ="You Test";
 
 to rename it.
