Changing title on a window

[benoitx]

Hi All,

How could I change the title on an View that extends AbstractView?
By title I mean the text that is on the top left of the internal frame (if I use RCP56)

It is defined in messages.properties under:
viewName.caption=My Title!

Thanks

viewName.label = My Title

should do it.

Hi Jonny

Thanks for your reply. My fault for asking an imprecise question.
I meant to change the title programmatically. My application is launching an internal frame and the title depends on the content.

1/ How to change programmatically
2/ when in the lifecycle should I change it? in createControl?

Thanks

Actually, I wondered why you were asking such a simple question.

I just override getDisplayName, getCaption, getDescription in my concrete view subclass to have a title and tooltips that depend on content. Is there a reason you can't do that?

Well, I'd start with ignorance and confusion... I was looking for a setTitle etc and then was happily digging my grave in PageComponentContext etc... Thanks for putting me back on track!

By the way why title string has to be changed through override of "get..." and not through a "set" operation ?
