TabbedMDIManager and Window Caption

[Daniel Chait]

How can I get the caption of the MDI parent to take on the proper MDI title - as in "AppName - [Document]"?

It seems that I need to set the MDIChild Form to be Maximized in order to achieve this, which in turn seems to really mess up the Tabbed MDI.

Thanks.

Hi Daniel

You could do this in the MDI Parent form''s MdiChildActivate event as demonstrated in the following code snippet:

this.MdiChildActivate += new System.EventHandler(this.MDIChildActivated);

protected void MDIChildActivated(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if (this.ActiveMdiChild != null)
{
this.Text = "Application Name-" + "[" + this.ActiveMdiChild.Text + "]";
}

}
