Hi everyone!

How can I customize the caption of Inspector window? Do I have any
control over it at all? I know that this property is r/o but may be
there are some other places where I can make adjustmens that would
result in a desired caption? What I'm doing in my code is calling
CreateItemFromTemplate and then creating and displaying new Inspector
for that item. Any advice would be very welcome :-)

TIA,

Vladimir

No, it's always the item subject and possibly the form name.

Thank you, Sue! That's what I figured out too :-) The problem is that
it is not only "possible form name" but IT IS form name and I do not
want it to be that form name. I don't want to go directly to Window
stuff (as Matt suggested) 'cause it's sort of a hack and I don't like
doing it as long as there are some legitimate ways around.

Regards,

Vladimir

As OOM doesn't support this why not get the Inspector's window handle using
IOleWindow and set the caption using SetWindowText - the code below seems to
work.

Matt Fletcher

_InspectorPtr spInspector;
HWND hwndInspector;

// need to initialise spInspector

CComQIPtr<IOleWindow> spOleWindow = spInspector;

if (spOleWindow)
spOleWindow->GetWindow(&hwndInspector);

if (hwndInspector)
SetWindowText(hwndInspector, "Customised caption");

Matt: Thanks a lot! If other ways fail I'll do as you suggested :-)
