Does anyone know how to stop an mdi child to add his name to the main application window ? If my app is named MYMDI and the childforms caption is CHILD1, I get a caption MYMDI - [CHILD1] !
But I want the main window caption to keep the name MYMDI.
I'm looking for a solution in C# or VB.NET as I can translate it to C# ...

Look for information about the method:

virtual void OnUpdateFrameTitle(BOOL bAddToTitle);

Is there some version of this event available somewhere in the ActiveX edition?

I could use this too, or something similar, since we used to change the base part of the form caption to the open database name. If I set the form caption to this, I see that the commandbars uses what I set when it does an update of the form caption itself, but since the form caption property doesn't support Unicode, I get ??? in the database name if it contains any of those characters.

An event that shows what the caption is about to be set to with an opportunity to change it first would be really helpful.
