Workspace Items adjustable?

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

   I use a workspace in an MDI project similar to your "Visual Studio Sample".

The tabs seem to be autogenerated from the icon and caption of the mdi child windows. However, I use child forms that originate in external dlls. For some reason, both icon and caption of those forms are not recognized. A generic icon is displayed, and only the hard coded form caption is displayed as tab text. Changing the caption of an mdi child is not reflected in the workspace tabs.

Question is whether it is possible to set custom tab title/icons.

The MDI childs work fine when displayed as "real" MDI child windows. Problems occur only when displayed in tabbed style.

Any help or suggestion greatly appreciated!
