Changing title at runtime

[Gaetano]

Hi guys, I can't figure out how to change the title after initializing my kendo win.

MyNamespace._myWin =
       $("#recapitoWin").kendoWindow({
       modal: true,
       width: 600,
       visible: false,
       title: "add user"
}).data("kendoWindow");

Now I use this window for add and modify users...
when I need to modify I set the title as follow

MyNamespace._myWin .title = "Edit User";

the result is that the title is still "add user"..no changes.
i tried also

$("#recapitoWin").kendoWindow({
            title: "Edit User"
        }).data("kendoWindow");

but still no changes..
what am I doing wrong?
thanks!

Hello Fabio,

You need to use the title method.

hello alex, 
OK it seems it'd work that way...
I was just wandering what's the point in having a property (that doesn't work ) and a method...
is the property just for initialization?

thanks anyway!

Hi Fabio,

The title property is for initial configuration only. It cannot work the way you expect, because when you change the property value, the actual Window title (HTML markup) is not aware of that and cannot change automatically. Normally properties in Javascript are used on an incident basis, i.e. a property value is changed and later it is used when necessary. For real-time changes there is a need for a setter, hence the title() method.

Old post but I was looking up how to change the title after initialization.  The title bar looks just like a div created above the main window area so you can just update the html using Jquery.  Here is an example that works for me.

    $(winId).kendoWindow({
        modal: true,
        visible: false,
        width: "90%",
        height: "80%",
        title: title
    });

    $(winId).prev().find(".k-window-title").text(title);
