Change tabbed panes caption

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi, I'm changing a pane's title when it's window is created in the XTP_DPN_SHOWWINDOW handler to reflect some specific window info using the CXTPDockingPane::SetTitle() method, this works ok but if the pane is docked with other panes in a CXTPDockingPaneTabbedContainer the tab's caption doesn't change to reflect this.  If I select another tab then click back on the original the caption changes to match the title.  How can I force the tab's caption to update when I change the panes title?
Thanks, Brian

	Maybe you can try the RedrawPane or RedrawPanes method.

	I have tried calling the RedrawPane method on the pane itself and the RedrawPanes method on the pane manager but neither worked. I have now tried calling GetContainer on the pane to get the CXTPDockingPaneTabbedContainer and then calling RedrawPane for this - this doesn't work when called just afer attaching the window to the pane in the XTP_DPN_SHOWWINDOW handler but does work later when called to update the pane after changing data in the window. Actually I've just done some more testing and it's the RedrawPanes method that half works, the CXTPDockingPaneTabbedContainer::RedrawPane method doesn't help. So I'm still looking for a solution Thanks Edited by brianh

	Hmm it worked for me. Do you have last version of Docking Panes?

	I have just double checked - calling RedrawPanes after changing the pane title does not redraw the tab when called just after attaching the view to the pane in the XTP_DPN_SHOWWINDOW handler, but does redraw it when called later after updating the title to reflect changes in the view data - the data change involves displaying a dialog so not sure if this makes the difference. I have noticed also that clicking on the tab causes it to redraw correctly. I am using Xtreme Toolkit Pro version 9.00. Thanks.
