Custom title in tab header?

[cew]

Hi there,

how can I set a custom title in the tab header in MDI-mode?

Background:
All my documents have a guid as filename.
So I have to set the tab title manually to a readable one.

How can this be done?

Best regards

Hi, cew.

You may change the "display file name" property of document:

Code: Select all

object dataIn = "XXXX"; // your custom name, can be 'faked' full file name: "X:\VirtDir1\VirtDir2\XXXX.pdf"
axCoPDFXCview1.SetDocumentProperty(docId, "DispFileName", dataIn, 0);

Nice hack, thanks!

BUT: In the thumbnail (displayed on mouse over the tab) the displayed path is now also the fake one ...

Another idea to avoid this?

Btw: is it possible to disable the path output in the thumbnail?

You may to disable tab thumbnail only:

Code: Select all

ctrl.SetProperty("View.ShowTabThumbnails", "false", 0)

----
Or you may use diff method:
set the custom title for your pdfs ([Menu/File/Document Properties/Document Info/Title]), set special option to displaying your custom title in [..Document Properties/Initial View/Window Options/ShowInTitle="Document Title"] save document with this changes, and do not set the "DispFileName" property for opened document.

Nice try, but I can't modify all documents before I load them into the viewer.
And I would need a cache for existing pdf titles to be able to restore the pdf before saving... and so on...

There's a command missing like "SetTabTitle"...

We will see what can be done in a future release - for now we are working on Version 3 and trying to avoid all but critical issues in the current version, so it will not I am sure be possible until Version 3 at the earliest.

That's a clear statement

Then let's wait for the ultimate version 3
