Hi,
Catch WM_XTP_GETWINDOWTEXT message in CChildFrame and reeturn (LPCTSTR) points to Tab Caption you need.

Hi Oleg,
 
I have implemented a message handler as you suggested, but the compiler constantly tells me that he cannot convert from LPCTSTR to LRESULT.
 
So, what's wrong with my code below?
 
Heiko
 
LRESULT ChildFrame::OnGetTabText(WPARAM /*wParam*/, LPARAM /*lParam*/)

{




MyDocument* pDoc = dynamic_cast<MyDocument*>(GetActiveDocument());


if (pDoc != NULL)


{




m_strTabTitle = pDoc->GetText();


return (LPCTSTR)m_strTabTitle;


}


return 0;


}

Hi Heiko;
 
You have to cast m_strTabTitle to LRESULT not to LPCTSTR!
The sender of the message knows how to interpret the LRESULT param - in this case its a const pointer to a string.
 
try
 
return reinterpret_cast<LRESULT>(m_strTabTitle);
 
or if m_strTabTitle is of type CString
 
return reinterpret_cast<LRESULT>(reinterpret_cast<LPCTSTR>(m_strTabTitle));
 
You can do it also in old C style... return (LRESULT)m_strTabTitle

Thanks Martin,
 
the cast (LRESULT)((LPCTSTR)m_strTabTitle) works. Maybe the help-topics of WM_XTP_GETWINDOWTEXT  and WM_XTP_GETWINDOWTOOLTIP should be updated.
