The DockingPane TabPaintManager has a property called DrawTextNoPrefix. This works fine but since the text that is displayed comes from the Title property of the Pane object I miss this setting for the Pane object to get the same behaviour for the same text

So I set the Title for the Pane and see the same text being used for the TabButton Label but for the tabbutton label the "&" can be replaced for an underscore while that does not work for the captionbar of the pane. Is this an oversight or do I miss something.

Hello,

Do you mean you set caption to "A & B" and don't see "&" ? I tried with last version and it works for me. What version do you have?

Oleg,

It is the opposite. I set the title to "Sales&Persons" and in the tabbutton label the "&" gets replaced by an underscore under "P" while the captionbar shows "Sales&Persons". The "&" was meant to indicate the underscore.

So why is there a DrawTextNoPrefix for the tabbutton label but not a similar thing for the pane caption or - since the same text value is used for caption and tabbutton label - why not applied to both text strings? And - as the documentation says - a double "&" makes it a real "&". So if I want "Sales & Persons" I write "Sales && Persons".

Using 11.2.1
