SetDockLabel

Hi I am using Syncfusion 3.2.1.0. I have problems with the SetDockLabel. When I first create the DockingManager and intialise the docking state I use SetDockLabel to give each docked window a title. This title also appears on the tabs if the docking windows are tabbed. Everything is fine so far. The problem is when I come to update the titles. Calling SetDockLabel again does not appear to have any affect. I can set the docking window''s Text property but must subsequently call it''s Refresh method for the new title to paint. Also, the tab labels do not update until I float and re-dock the window. I am trying to produce the similar functionality to that of Visual Studio. E.g. When navigating from one project to another in Solution Explorer, the title of the docked window always includes the current project title and always leaves the tab label untouched. How can I do this using Syncfusion? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best Regards Jason

Hi, What I was trying to do was dynamically set the docklabels on the form load. This did not seem to work. Note that in the sample code the button changes the docklabel. This gives enough time for the dockmanager to load before it can be changed. I resolved my problem by changing the text on the NewDockStateEndLoad event.
