How do I make a RibbonWindow show a title on the window and in the task bar? I set the "Title" property of RibbonWindow::Window, but it's being ignored.

Thank you,
Mick

Mick,

The Title property will update the taskbar. You can use ApplicationName and DocumentName to update the RibbonWindow's title bar.

Thank you, I got what I needed through the ApplicationName property.

Just FYI, the Title property doesn't update the taskbar as you had expected.

I'm using version 10.1.520.0

XAML:

<ribbon:RibbonWindow
    x:Class="TitleExample.Window1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:ribbon="http://schemas.actiprosoftware.com/winfx/xaml/ribbon"
    Title="This is My Title"
    Height="300"
    Width="400"
    >
    <Grid />
</ribbon:RibbonWindow>
Code: use the default code generated by Visual Studio

Thank you,
Mick

I'm sorry, you're right. The Title is getting set by RibbonWindow to be "DocumentName - ApplicationName" if both of those properties are set. If only ApplicationName is set, then it will become the Title.

It originally was done this way since Office 2007 required drawing those in separate colors. And also that it's a bit of a helper because the application name typically stays constant and the document name can be changed interactively. By having them drive the title updates as well, it's one less thing for you to do.
