[Continue thread] Change Virtuoso Studio ADE Windows Title Style

Which IC sub-version are you using? I'm doing this in IC6.1.8 ISR35, and it seems to work OK for me...

Andrew

$ virtuoso -V
@(#)$CDS: virtuoso version IC23.1-64b 06/21/2023 09:33 (cpgbld16) $

It seems like it only happens on Virtuoso Studio (23+)

On the About page, it is IC23.1-64b.43

I do not know why the subversion 43 is not included on the virtuoso -V command.

virtuoso -V give you the major version, whereas virtuoso -W shows the minor subversion.

This is due to a new feature (that's there in IC6.1.8 too, but turned off by default) to update the banner with a * to indicate that the ADE setup has changed. It's on by default in IC23.1 

The right way is to get the windowNameFormat/iconNameFormat supported for ADE windows (it doesn't look as if there's a CCR for that; I suggest you contact customer support to request this). 

As a workaround you could turn off the updating of the banner to reflect the changed status:

envSetVal("maestro.gui" "updateTitleToReflectUnsavedChanges" 'boolean nil)

Thank you very much for the workaround.

Is there a trigger for the "updateTitleToReflectUnsavedChanges" event?

This is not an event. It's a cdsenv variable that is checked as part of a function that is called whenever ADE has changed something and determines whether the title should be updated. There's no public trigger that is being used for this, so no, there's no trigger. Which is why I suggested it as a workaround...

As I said, the right solution is to get ADE to honour the same windowNameFormat/iconNameFormat env vars that are used in other applications in Virtuoso. Then there would be no need to mess around with triggers to solve this problem.

I see, thank you Andrew.
