Changing the title of a pane

I found this a long time ago and created a workaround for it.  I figured this would have been fixed by now, but I guess not.  This work-around was designed before the ThemedFloatingPanes option was introduced, so I don't know how that will affect it, but you can play with it to make it work.  The general idea behind this was that a floating pane was actually a window with a title bar.  The workaround was to use the 'SetWindowText' API function to directly change the title of the window.  I wrapped it up into a function that took three parameters... the DockingPane object, the ID of the pane to update, and the new title.

Declare Function SetWindowText Lib "user32.dll" Alias "SetWindowTextA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal lpString As String) As Long
Declare Function GetParent Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal hWnd As Long) As Long
Public Sub UpdatePaneTitle(ByRef dockingPanes As DockingPane, ByVal iPaneID As Integer, ByVal sTitle As String)
    Dim hWnd As Long, p As Pane
    Set p = dockingPanes.FindPane(iPaneId)
    If p Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    p.Title = sTitle
    If p.Floating = True Then
        'The container for the floating form is two levels up from
        'the docked item itself.  We need to update both captions.
        SetWindowText p.handle, sTitle
        hWnd = GetParent(GetParent(p.handle))
        If hWnd <> 0 Then
             SetWindowText hWnd, sTitle
        End If
    Else
        dockingPanes.RecalcLayout
    End If
End Sub

At the time, I don't think the 'RedrawPanes' method existed, so I used 'RecalcLayout' instead.  I'm sure you can tweak this to accomplish what you need.  Hope this helps!  Of course, it'd still be nice if Codejock can wrap up a resolution to this.

Had 5 mins this morning on the PC and tried your suggestion but it didnt work.

Wont have time to get on the PC for a few days so it will be a while before I can test this further.

Here's hoping that the next release will address this problem.
