I have a MDI application and I want to change the Frame's Title  (window type is mdihelp) when they click on a button. 

I change it using: w_frame.title = xxxx   and I can see it change in the debugger but the MDI_1 title remains unchanged.

mdi_1  doesn't have a title attribute.  How would I change the FRAME's (MDI_1)  title while the application is running?

 

Thank you

Just grab the initial WINDOW of the application, which is almost always the FRAME.

   w_frame.title = "New Title For Aplication"

 

If you are using the PFC, its:
   w_frame = gnv_app.of_getFrame()

Hi Dawn;

  MDI_1 is not a visible control, it's a work area within the MDI frame that manages your open Sheets.

MDI_1 is the Workspace where the sheets are displayed.
