Titlebar

Updated on Apr 15, 2026

The Window titlebar displays the title and the default action buttons. Set a plain text title directly on the component, or replace the titlebar content with icons, custom HTML, and additional action buttons.

Setting a Plain Text Title

Set the title property to display a text string in the Window titlebar. Use this approach for document viewers, record editors, and panels where a static heading is sufficient.

html
<kendo-window title="Q4 Planning Notes"></kendo-window>

The following example demonstrates a Window with meeting notes and a plain text title.

Adding Icons and Custom Actions

Use the kendo-window-titlebar component to add icons and custom HTML to the titlebar, and control which action buttons are available with the built-in action directives.

HTML
<kendo-window>
    <kendo-window-titlebar>
        <kendo-svg-icon [icon]="userIcon"></kendo-svg-icon> Edit Contact
        <button kendoWindowMaximizeAction></button>
        <button kendoWindowCloseAction></button>
    </kendo-window-titlebar>
</kendo-window>

The following example demonstrates a contact editor Window with an icon and custom action buttons in the titlebar.

Hiding the Title Text

When title is not set and no kendo-window-titlebar is defined, the Window shows the default action buttons but no title text. Use this layout when the window content serves as its own heading.

The following example demonstrates a Window without a title.
