How can i set the mainframe title?

Question

Hi,

The XML of the mainframe container looks like this:

<mainframe title="My product name">
  <events>
    <keyEvents>
      <keyEvent action="save" keyCombination="F10"/>
      <keyEvent action="query" keyCombination="F8"/>
    </keyEvents>
  </events>
  <borderLayout>
    <cell docking="Center" name="centerCell"/>
  </borderLayout>
</mainframe>

Now i want to change the title in the postOpen event so it shows (for example) the name of the current user. I would expect this procedure:

api_frame.setTitle ( 'mainframe ', 'my new title');

But that does not work: the error message shows "frame mainframe does not exist".

So, i try to add the name-tag to the mainframe definition:

<mainframe name="myMainFrame" title="blabla">

But then i get the error that the name-tag is not allowed for mainframe.

Is there a solution for this?

Kind regards, Jan Willem

Hi Jan Willem,

Please right click the object you want to rename in the IDE. In the popupmenu click Rename. Enter the new name for the mainFrame.

Rename works the same way pretty much with every object.

Hi Jan Willem,

The default name for mainFrame of the application is "mainFrame", therefore if you didn't change its name, you can use the code below:

api_frame.setTitle ( 'mainFrame', 'my new title');

Hope this helps,
